Default TPWS Question

I had an issue with one of my TPWS valves. I got a low air pressure warning. So when I took of the valve cap I heard and felt air coming out. Thinking I would need a new valve cap $125. I went to the dealership.
So the service man said let's check it out. He took off the cap and said let's try a inside stem well it worked.
I had no idea u could do that. If so he saved me $125
A good dealership experience

Yes you can replace the stems in your tire valve.
