The sensors are typically either built onto the base of the valve stem or are mounted on the wheel, as with some of the Ford sensors that are banded to the center of the rim. Because they are inside the tire, they aren&rsquo;t exposed to the elements. But sometimes the sensors that are banded to the rim will come loose from their metal band due to centrifugal force (although that scenario isn&rsquo;t as common as you might think).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"985\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/protective-layer-makes-it-hard-to-access-the-tpms-battery.jpg\" alt=\"protective layer makes it hard to access the tpms battery\" class=\"wp-image-110267\" style=\"width:985px;height:421px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/protective-layer-makes-it-hard-to-access-the-tpms-battery.jpg 985w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/protective-layer-makes-it-hard-to-access-the-tpms-battery-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/protective-layer-makes-it-hard-to-access-the-tpms-battery-768x328.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/protective-layer-makes-it-hard-to-access-the-tpms-battery-150x64.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 985px) 100vw, 985px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A protective layer makes it hard to access the battery (see photo), which is effectively sealed shut from any DIY enthusiasts who might want to replace the battery.

It can take a lot of effort, but here are some tips if you want to try it, anyway:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare the Necessary Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To replace your TPMS sensor&rsquo;s battery, you&rsquo;ll have to get to the TPMS sensor first. This will require jacks, a wrench set, and a TPMS hand tool. Depending on how thick the potting compound around the TPMS sensor is, you might need a heat gun to melt it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-data443-irp-shortcode irp-shortcode\"><div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:1em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/what-is-a-tire-pressure-sensor-and-what-does-it-do\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"ube05bf30f8e06269c94d1d1d452d5be4\"><style> .ube05bf30f8e06269c94d1d1d452d5be4 { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #34495E!important; text-decoration:none; } .ube05bf30f8e06269c94d1d1d452d5be4:active, .ube05bf30f8e06269c94d1d1d452d5be4:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .ube05bf30f8e06269c94d1d1d452d5be4 { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .ube05bf30f8e06269c94d1d1d452d5be4 .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#464646; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .ube05bf30f8e06269c94d1d1d452d5be4 .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .ube05bf30f8e06269c94d1d1d452d5be4:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">See also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">What Is a Tire Pressure Sensor and What Does It Do?<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t forget to get the correct TPMS sensor battery replacement as well. Prepare all of these tools first, so you don&rsquo;t have to go back and forth looking for them once you&rsquo;re in the zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remove the TPMS Sensor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the type of sensor, you might have to remove the tires first to access it and its battery. Most TPMS sensors are directly connected to the tire valve stem, such as valve cap sensors. Other types such as snap-in and clamp-on sensors are mounted on the barrel of the rim. If you aren&rsquo;t sure where your TPMS sensor is and how to remove it, don&rsquo;t hesitate to ask a mechanic for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remove the TPMS Sensor Battery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where things get complicated. A layer of potting compound seals the TPMS sensor, making it hard to remove the battery. You&rsquo;ll have to melt the material off with a heat gun or scrape it off with a screwdriver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, the battery is spot-welded to the straps of the circuit board. You can gently unfasten them using a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spot-Weld the Battery Straps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve replaced the battery, you&rsquo;ll have to secure the straps again. You can do this by spot-welding the straps or using solder and flux instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seal the TPMS With Potting Compound<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect the TPMS sensor, you&rsquo;ll have to seal it in the potting compound again. This will keep it safe from constant exposure to moisture, vibrations, and heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Should Buy a New TPMS Sensor Instead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While replacing its battery is a challenge welcomed by some DIY enthusiasts, it isn&rsquo;t recommended. A lot of things can go wrong in the process, and all that trouble is hardly worth it when you can just buy a new TPMS sensor instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-data443-irp-shortcode irp-shortcode\"><div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:1em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/where-is-the-tire-pressure-sensor-located\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"ub4822fd6fb4f6887a4b976a20ff9569d\"><style> .ub4822fd6fb4f6887a4b976a20ff9569d { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #34495E!important; text-decoration:none; } .ub4822fd6fb4f6887a4b976a20ff9569d:active, .ub4822fd6fb4f6887a4b976a20ff9569d:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .ub4822fd6fb4f6887a4b976a20ff9569d { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .ub4822fd6fb4f6887a4b976a20ff9569d .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#464646; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .ub4822fd6fb4f6887a4b976a20ff9569d .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .ub4822fd6fb4f6887a4b976a20ff9569d:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">See also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">Where Is the Tire Pressure Sensor Located?<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still haven&rsquo;t made up your mind, here are some reasons why you should buy a new TPMS instead of replacing the batteries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TPMS Sensor Damage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the battery is encased in potting material, you&rsquo;d have to melt or scrape the compound away. All this force can damage the sensor&rsquo;s components, rendering all your efforts useless. To save yourself from all that trouble, consider buying a new TPMS sensor instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battery Leakage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Melting the potting compound that seals the TPMS sensor can also damage the battery itself, causing acid to leak and damage the device. Because it&rsquo;s corrosive, battery acid can also burn your skin if you aren&rsquo;t careful. Getting a brand-new TPMS sensor instead of replacing the battery is the safer choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Batteries Won&rsquo;t Last Long<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you successfully replace the battery, there&rsquo;s no guarantee that it&rsquo;ll last long. In most cases, you won&rsquo;t find any labels on the TPMS sensor battery, so it&rsquo;ll be hard to find the exact battery type the sensor needs. Because of this, you might end up using a smaller battery that won&rsquo;t last as long as the original. With a new TPMS sensor, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about that as it already comes with a fresh battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TPMS Sensors Are Affordable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of TPMS sensor batteries typically ranges from $20 to $200. Similarly, aftermarket TPMS sensors can cost anywhere from $10 to $380, which means you can already score a good-quality one for around $60. Given their similar price range, you&rsquo;d be getting more of your money&rsquo;s worth with a brand-new TPMS sensor.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 5<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Underinflated tires can lead to tire failure, blowouts, and increased braking distance.
