Question

What causes TPMS sensor “drift” over time?

Answer

Wear on MEMS pressure cells, thermistor aging, or battery voltage drops.

Explain

MEMS cells wear with use; thermistors drift due to heat cycles; low battery voltage causes signal instability. CHEPQ tools detect drift by comparing sensor readings to a calibrated gauge.
