Replacing a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor can cost between $50 and $250 per tire. The exact cost depends on factors like the vehicle model, the quality of the sensor, and labor charges. The sensor itself usually costs $50 to $150. High-end vehicles or specialized fleet trucks may require advanced sensors, which can push the price toward the higher end of the range. In addition to the sensor cost, labor fees for installation and recalibration range from $50 to $100 per tire, depending on the service provider.
TPMS sensors play a crucial role in monitoring tire pressure, ensuring safety and fuel efficiency. When a sensor fails, it’s important to replace it promptly to avoid potential safety risks and maintain compliance with regulations. Faulty TPMS sensors can lead to inaccurate tire pressure readings, increasing the risk of tire blowouts or reduced fuel efficiency.
