TroubleshootingPossible Causes:
Sensor battery depleted
Wrong frequency or incompatible sensor model
Sensor not properly installed or damaged
Solutions:
Verify sensor frequency (e.g., 315 MHz or 433 MHz)
Replace sensor if battery is dead (non-serviceable)
Reinstall or replace with compatible TPMS sensor
Possible Causes:
Sensor not programmed or paired with vehicle ECU
Incorrect vehicle protocol used during programming
ECU requires a reset/relearn process
Solutions:
Program sensor with vehicle-specific data
Perform TPMS relearn procedure (static, OBD, or auto-relearn depending on vehicle)
Confirm correct torque during installation
Possible Causes:
Sensor calibration issue
Physical damage to sensor or valve stem
Environmental interference (temperature changes, RF interference)
Solutions:
Verify with a calibrated manual gauge
Replace faulty sensor/valve
Recheck torque on valve stem nut
Possible Causes:
Weak sensor battery
Poor signal reception due to wheel/rim design
Radio frequency interference
Solutions:
Replace sensor with weak battery
Ensure proper installation and orientation
Use a TPMS tool to check signal strength
Possible Causes:
Incompatible programming tool
Outdated tool software/firmware
Wrong vehicle selection in the tool menu
Solutions:
Update TPMS tool software
Confirm tool compatibility with sensor
Ensure correct vehicle year/make/model selection
Possible Causes:
Vehicle ECU malfunction
Incorrect relearn procedure performed
Interference from aftermarket electronics
Solutions:
Perform full ECU scan/reset
Redo relearn procedure with correct steps
Eliminate nearby interference sources
Possible Causes:
Improper mounting/dismounting of tires
Over-torquing the valve stem nut
Corrosion due to road salt or moisture
Solutions:
Replace damaged sensor/valve stem
Follow torque specifications (typically 4–7 Nm for valve nut)
Use nickel-plated cores and caps to prevent corrosion
