If I have time for cleaning and vacuuming my car, then I have time to check my tire pressures while I'm doing it as well.

Good to know they can be disabled. My right rear TPMS was bad. I just happen to replace all four tires on my car and now the right rear TPMS is fine and the left rear is now bad.

I called the dealer and told them about my TPMS and they said the sensors need to be replaced roughly every 4 years. I'd rather just disable them instead of neeting to replace them every 4 years.

TPMS Issue

I had a TPMS error after the car sat for a month without driving it. I think the batteries in the modules recharge from driving. After driving a few days the error went away.
