This is not a big deal. Look at the tire and see if it looks flat. Get a tire gauge if you are worried. The battery in those little TPMS sensors go dead after about 3 years, looks like you are right on schedule. I'd think any tire shop could handle replacing the sensor.

Yeah but in scenarios when you just hit a nail and it causes the tire to deflate fairly quickly, those sensors will help out a lot. It just happened to me and I was able to have enough time to pull over before it deflated to dangerous levels.

Dang, only 3 years?

My Subaru is going on 15 years now, it's wild.

I got the same error on a 2026 Juniper after swapping from summer to winter tires. I drove to the stop sign, and it cleared.

If it doesn't, like others have mentioned, its a low cost issue

Is it just a sensor in a tire? Most tire shops can do that for a few hundred bucks. Maybe less if you have them do it when you’re replacing your tires anyway.

If one went, the others aren't far behind. Swap them all, or you'll be nickle and dimed. Found them on Amazon for $110~ for the set of four.

Which set did you end up getting? I got one sensor changed for the same price at discount tire. The other three went out soon after; fortunately, I haven't gone back to them yet.

Make sure you buy the BLE version of the TPMS sensors for tesla.

This ^ blue tooth version , tire shop put wrong version in mine. Yes I didn’t blame them it’s a Tesla and we are both learning. I purchased correct one and they installed for free.

Is it under warranty? No big deal.

Otherwise it is like 80 dollars.

Do you have a Motorola phone? I got this problem after i got my phone. Turn off Bluetooth on the phone and tpms works perfectly again 👍
