‘Don’t cheap out’: Lexus mechanic issues warning if you drive a modern car with a sensor that checks tire pressure. You might not know that those car pressure sensors run on independent batteries of their own. And a California-based mechanic has a tip that may save you several headaches when it comes time to replace one of those batteries on your car’s TPMS.

According to consumer intelligence company J. D. Power, “It’s recommended that you go for a tire pressure sensor replacement once the 80,000 miles mark is passed. Simple wear and tear, especially when using the vehicle quite often, can quickly reduce the service life of sensors.”
