I have four tire sensors Im wanting to put in my tires there for my 01, is there any way to check to see if theres enough power left in the sensors before I install them? it would be a pain in the butt to install them and then find out their weak. Thanks Jim

Unfortunately, no. There is no way to determine how much battery life is remaining without opening the sensors up. Once you open them it is a crapshoot as to whether or not you would get them resealed well enough to survive the harsh environment inside the tire.

If you have an '01 (and if it were me) I'd simply get new sensors. The TPS sensors were designed to last 7-10 years under normal operation. Some have lost their sensors earlier. My 1997 C5 had its original sensors and they were still going strong at 9 years when I traded the car in.

Another fine example why I love this forum.I never knew this about T.P.M.S.. :thumbsup3: :cheers:
