2001 tps
My 2001 Coupe needs new tires this spring. As far as i know The TPS sensors have never been changed. The car had the original tires on it when I bought it. They were all working great when I last drove the car. I have been told the batteries can be replaced in some TPS sensors. Is this possible on the ones on my 2001 Coupe? If not, should I replace them when buying new tires even though they were working great when I last drove the car? Thank You for your help.

So the Tpms are 20 years old, I would buy new ones. If they fail you have to have the tire dismounted to change them out. I just put new tires on my 02 and bought new Schrader 20117 tpms for about $100

Order a set of Schraders from Rock Auto. Don't use aftermarket no name "universal" ones - use Schraders as they made the OEM units. I just bought 4 when I did my tires. It is a complete pain when a battery dies as you will be constantly getting warnings and resetting the DIC. One of mine died and within 2 weeks they were all dead. I couldn't wait to replace my tires. One tip - when you get them check the date codes and program to the car so you won't have any surprises once they are installed.

If you buy tires from Discount Tire they sell Schrader sensors. Their website says 50 bucks each but I got them down to 30 each installed and with a warranty when I got my new tires earlier this week.
They will pair them to your car too!
I'm happy!
