Angry TPMS

Hi gang,

Had new tires installed a little while ago and rode it home fine. A few weeks later I take it out for a ride and the TPMS low tire pressure light comes on with it's little idiot light brother on the speedo the red dot. So, I'm pissed as I just spent hundreds for new tires and now something is wrong. Worked fine before the trip to the dealer. It will give me the front tire reading but not the rear. I check the tire pressure and it is fine. I don't have time for the dealer and am curious if anyone else has experienced this and what it could be. I always check the TP before rides and I do not rely on the TPMS. But, I would like for it to work!

Without any further info from you, I would say the sensor itself is the issue, possibly the battery.

The wheel will have to come back off.

Unless the battery in the sensor has been changed I’d say a ten year old sensor battery is your problem.

Yup....sounds like the sensor battery has reached its end point.

There is a battery inside this sensor? And where is this sensor? The TPMS gives me the front tire pressure but zero's for the rear.

Like I said, the wheel will have to come off, and the tire dismounted. The sensor is attached to the stem on the inside of the wheel

And they are usually buried in epoxy, so there is no such thing as changing that battery, you have to change the unit itself.
And seeing they're 10 years old, change the front while you're at it.
They look like this......
