Yes, you're right. I just checked and they aren't required by law in Canada. However, I was wanting to get a fix instead of just binning them. |

Although your car is quite new the batteries may be running low. They normally last for around 7 years. On Ebay you can find sets that are quite reasonably priced but make sure you have to correct frequency, you need the North American frequency (same band as the keys), 315 MHz if I remember correctly (but please check).

They do appear to be more bother than they are worth for some people. Personally, at the first sign of ongoing problems I would bin them rather than spend money repairing/replacing. Previously..

If you are getting 'check all tyres' message I'd suggest that points more towards the RF reciever module or possibly TPMS ECU. |

@ Katash - the check all tyres message indicates one of the road wheels is either low on pressure or not returning a signal.

Ah I thought it would return individual sensor status, mine warns when the spare in the boot is low and states 'Check spare tyre pressure' or something similar.

I've recently replaced all 4 TPMS sensors but still get an intermittent message light on the dash. Very annoying given the outlay on 4 new sensors. Now I have 6 months warranty from Stratstone and would like them to look into it, does anyone know if this is covered?

Remember, you have FIVE. It could be the one on the spare causing the problem if everything else is good. The spare tyre TPMS won't automatically synch with the car like the other four. |

I've replaced all the tyre pressure sensors and still have the warnings. Front nearside is registering 0 volts apparently, next step is a new ecu |
