Tire sensors are a valuable diagnostic tool—so valuable that all car models have been required to have them since 2007! Luckily, it typically costs between $80-$140 to fix a tire pressure sensor, depending on your car model.
If your car’s still under warranty, the cost of replacing a sensor may be covered. Check with your dealership if you believe this is the case for you.
Here’s how tire pressure sensors work:
The sensors monitor the pressure in the cars’ tires and then send a signal to your car’s computer. Do check your tire pressure if the light comes on. It may mean you have a leak or even that you’ve overinflated your tires.
Properly inflated tires not only make driving safer, but they also result in better gas mileage.
