Since 2007, the U.S is the first to implement the law that all vehicles must be equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The warning signal pops up at your dashboard if tyre(s) is/are below a certain percentage of the vehicle recommended psi. Vehicle must either installed with the pressure sensor or equipped with other tools/programs in order to detect tyre pressure issues.
After 2012, the EU, South Korea, and Japan also implemented similar law. Many recently manufacture vehicle including #KIA #Sorento #Hyundai #H1 are installed with TPMS. (Though it is an option for BMW and Mercedes Benz)
And in recent years (2020) China carry out similar law (and all vehicles must equip with TPMS sensors)
When the tyre pressure warning signal comes out and there is no leak for the four tyres, the TPMS sensors is the issue, and the cause of it is normally out of juice. Battery replacement for the sensor is out of option as the sensors are tightly glued. (I tried, and damaging the case of the sensors only to get the chips out, but glue back is a problem)
Recently found out that Original TPMS sensor cost (without installation)
Prosche Cayenne HK$1200
Kia Sorento around HK$150 - $450 (depends on the model)
(Two types of tyre nozzle available, one is rubber as depicted above, the other is metal)
(Only rubber type is available as at this moment. Metal one will be imported when more customers needed it)
The new product here in Tyrehood is the adaptable TPMS sensors suitable for most of the vehicles types. The promotion price is $100 - $150 per sensor. (price will increase in the future. Updated price will reflect on Tyrehood website ONLY)
You can choose which sensor to be replaced, or let me check which sensors needed to be replaced (I got the device to check)
1) Promotion price is only for existing Tyrehood customers purchased (from me) accumulate at least four tyres. Best if you are going to change tyres at the same time.
1a) Promotion can be transferred to relatives but they need to replace tyres at the same time.
2) 12 months warranty. No installation fee incurred if there is a sensor issue and require new replacement. (if sensor is damaged physically, it will not be covered). However, new replacement must be the same model sensor purchased from me. Otherwise, installation fee will incur if you bring your own TPMS sensor.
Terms and Conditions apply and will be updated to Tyrehood website in the future.
TPMS reset can be done through ECU as well but normally it does not need to be complicated.
I cannot guarantee how long can the sensor last. Although the seller has told me that it will last AT LEAST, Y years. (I got a few customers who purchased substitute TPMS for their peugot expert, and still using after 4 years). I believe it should last for a bit, and you can continue to come back for a routine inspection like always every year.
