My tyre shop always do it for free (internal sensors) when I change the tyres. Just buy the tpms from shopee etc.

Bought these TPMS the valve screw in type and one day the screen went blank with no readings. 

 

The screw plug batt went dead? How long are they suppose to last? 6mths or 1yr??

So basically is to throw away if that happens and get another brand new set as its relatively cheap.

LoL. What did you buy? Got at least a pic to show?

No display means battery flat. Charge the display unit? If the sensor batt is about to go flat usually there is a visual and sound warning. Usually run by a button battery. Easy to replace with the tool provided.

Display unit is all good and bright except no reading with  a - - - -  for all 4. And yes... It kept on pee pee pee then. 

 

The valve looks like a concealed unit. Shall get the small spanner equipped to see whether it could be opened.

Battery is 1632 size button. There should be some small tools that came with the set to swap out the batteries. I think you can buy the batts from daiso if not Japan home.

It’s the valve battery bro. Just change them and they are good to go.

All went flat at the same time? Did you try to reset the reading? After you reset it should stop beeping then you have to drive to a certain speed for it to get back a reading. At stationary it cannot get a reading.

Yours is external sensor or internal sensor?

i bought mine in 2020 too... less than $20

changed battery once (DIY)

but recently start to leak... tyre pressure dropping from 2.3bar to 1.9bar in 2-3 days

did a check, confirmed leaking from the sensors

now thinking of changing to the better internal ones
