Does the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Require Battery Replacement?

[McMiles]

Tire pressure monitoring requires battery replacement, typically every 3 years. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically and continuously monitors the air pressure in the tires while driving, alerting the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Generally, built-in sensors are installed in the tires to monitor the pressure. Direct tire pressure monitoring systems use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the air pressure, transmitting the pressure information wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the data for each tire's pressure. The system will automatically alert when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring works on the principle that when the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels.
