This mandated feature was thanks to Ford Explorer, Firestone, and the recommended tire pressure to get a soft ride some years ago. As a result the tires overheated & blew.
Personally, I monitor my tires closely & run the PSI to 40-45#. I ignore that blinking light. Some place black electrical tape over it. Otherwise buy new tire stems. Your choice.

It would be nice if you could, but the TPMS sensors have integral batteries that can't be serviced. You need to replace the entire TPMS sensor assy. They generally last about 6 years, give or take. When one fails, the others aren't far behind. Rather than keep replacing one after another and having to go through the programming, it's more practical to replace them as a set in the long run.lebanesepathy wrote:So I can't just replace the sensors' batteries ?
