Tire pressure sensors

How long have they been lasting? My newly acquired 08 with 7000 miles is showing XX left front, gauge shows 32 psi.

Try and reset them. If unsuccessful buy new ones. I would get Schrader and check rock auto for price.

They last until the batteries die. Don’t think there is any real timeline when they decide to give up.

Knocking on wood! My 20 year old C6 still has the original sensors and they work fine. I don't know if it matters or not but my car has never been a garage queen. I've also gone through 3 sets of tires.

I replaced both my front tpms sensors on my 09 last summer since it kept triggering my service active handling warning. I probably should have just replaced the rears as well but was just pressed for time with having a HPDE event next morning. Oh well.

My 2010 still has the factory ones installed. They do weird things sometimes though - like showing XX on one side or say the PSI is low when it isnt. Next drive its always fine. I am sure the batteries are almost dead but my phone and FM transmitter does seem to mess with them a bit.

The Corvette and the daily drivers all have TPMS and I usually change the sensors at 10 years.

You will have to break the bead and push it down where the sensor/ valve goes.
I tire shop just pushes the tire bead in that area down with their hydraulic tire dismount tool and replace the sensor. That way, a tire rebalance is not necessary.
