TPMS presents the market with a new category of replacement parts and Standard provides you with a comprehensive line of TPMS sensors, TPMS kits and accessories to meet the growing sales and service opportunities.

What Causes a TPMS Sensor to Fail?

Sensors fail primarily due to battery failure or improper service procedures. Initially there will be a learning curve for installing and checking the TPMS system, but most service technicians will quickly learn how to identify and service the system efficiently.

• Sensor batteries can become discharged and fail – the internal lithium battery is not serviceable, and it has a life expectancy of approximately 3-10 years.
• Installing the incorrect valve core will cause failure – TPMS sensors require a special nickel-plated valve core instead of the regular copper or brass valve core
• Normal tire changing procedures can damage a TPMS sensor – this includes flat repairs, new tire replacement, snow tire change or a wheel upgrade
• Pulling a typical looking rubber valve stem out of the wheel will lead to a broken sensor. TPMS systems now use either metal or rubber valves
• Over tightening a new sensor valve will result in a broken sensor
• Typical road hazards - collisions, potholes, curbs - can damage the TPMS system
• TPMS sensors contain delicate electronics that are subject to failure over time
