Question
Why do some TPMS ECUs store sensor IDs even after battery disconnect?
Answer
They use non-volatile memory (EEPROM) that retains data without power.
Explain
EEPROM doesn’t lose data when the battery is disconnected—IDs stay stored for years. CHEPQ tools can erase EEPROM data if IDs need to be reset (e.g., after sensor replacement).
