Question
Can TPMS sensors be damaged by extreme heat (e.g., desert climates)?
Answer
Yes—temperatures above 125°C can melt sensor housings or damage batteries.
Explain
Desert heat increases tire temp, which transfers to sensors. CHEPQ desert-grade sensors use heat-resistant plastic (up to 150°C) and high-temperature batteries.
