Question
What are the signs of a bad TPMS sensor valve?
Answer
Air leaks (slow pressure loss), corrosion on the valve stem, physical damage, or sensor communication failure.
Explain
A bad valve causes 0.5-1 PSI loss/day; corrosion appears as green/white deposits; bent stems break seals. CHEPQ recommends replacing valves with sensors (even if valves look good) to avoid future leaks.
