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.
