Question
Why might a TPMS sensor fail prematurely?
Answer
Premature failure comes from corrosion, impact damage, battery exhaustion, or improper installation.
Explain
Road salt/water seeps into poor-sealed sensors (corroding PCBs); potholes crack pressure transducers; over-tightening valve stems (>7 Nm) damages sensor housings. CHEPQ sensors use IP6K9K waterproofing and reinforced valve stems to resist these issues.
