Question
Why do some TPMS sensors fail after water submersion (e.g., flooding)?
Answer
Water seeps into unsealed connectors, shorting the PCB.
Explain
Standard sensors (IP67) resist splashes but not full submersion. CHEPQ flood-resistant sensors (IP68) use epoxy-sealed connectors to survive 1m submersion for 30 minutes.
