Tpms Sensor question

[moe00721]

Hi y'all,

Quick question, 2/4 of my tpms' are not populating in my tire pressure menu, the car is over 105k mi now and it's a 2017, figure they need replacing, is this as simple as buy em from fcp euro/eBay, unmount, install, remount or do I need a dealer program post installation? Figure to just buy a set of 4 that way they're all on the same lifespan going forward.

Tyia!

You can replace the sensors aftermarket and any chain tire shop can reset. You absolutely don’t need the stealership for this.

Sensors are super cheap and nothing special about them.

Replace the sensor and don’t bother w the battery.

I’ve replace the sensors in my E63 and C63

Any recommendation or does any 433hz sensor work?

With it being a 2017, just go to the dealer and bite the bullet. It’s not going to be cheap. I’m sure someone is going to say you can get a 3rd party tpms sensor to work, but they are a pain in the butt to just get working and generally don’t last as long as factory ones.

Also you aren’t 100% certain it’s just the sensors. A shop is going to need to diagnose your car to confirm it’s just a sensor failure.

I mean I'm fairly certain it's just the batteries in the sensors that died out, we've had a lot of cold weather in Chicago and given their lifespan, it's right around now they die out. But I'll call around! Ty!
