TPMS Fault - Low Voltage

[Roy Batty]

Afternoon,

Last couple of days my TPMS is reporting a fault, looks like the near side front, and I've popped into service mode and it's reporting less than 2.5V.

I've actually had the 32.9 update so it's been hard rest twice with no luck.

Has anyone had any joy with a repair under warranty, the car is a 71 plate with 15K miles.

Thanks.

I think the warranty is for 5 years from reading thro’ the threads, so it should be free. The battery is a sealed unit so comes under vehicle basic warranty. It costs around £180, if you have to pay from your pocket.

It's one of those parts that I'm not sure would be considered a wear item or not, would be good if anyone else had success with a claim.

It would be cheaper at the local tyre place if it's not covered thanks to Tesla's high labour rates.

They were around £75 when I bought a set of 4 in 2022 for a new set of wheels.

Mind that was for an MX so perhaps not like for like.

I'm presuming the £180 includes fitting, that's what I took from it.

Yes, that is what I understood. The same thread mentioned Lexus charges $1100 in US markets to change all 5 of the TPMS after 5-7 years. Was curious to find out how much the B charges but I know our forum B fans and @Zilla91 will be all over again.

Thanks but this isn't a Tesla Vs thread thanks, would just like to know if someone from the UK has had warranty replacement of a TPMS sensor.

The thread reports just out of warranty replacement charges for a model S in 2019.

How Long do TPMS Last?

My wife's 2014 Model S is now giving "TMPS Needs Service" warnings. Tesla say that we need to replace one of the four sensors and have quoted us the grand total of £182.20 (that's about US $240) to have it replaced - which seems a bit steep, especially since it failed just out of warranty...

Thanks I'd found a few of the threads on failures, I shall see what Tesla say once I've got some time to deal with it.

Got a good tyre Indy? They’d prob charge less than £30 to drop the tyre off the rim and pop a new TPMS valve in the rim.

Yes, please do let us know, how Tesla resolved this under warranty replacement.

Yep, plus the cost of the sensor I would guess.

I shall give Tesla a whirl first, I presume I report it, they quote and I choose yay or nay once I know if it's free or too much money

Yeah the M3 has one replaced under warranty back in September

Are you ok?

Excellent thanks, sounds like a warranty job then!

Yes, I've had one of mine changed a month ago under warranty. No issue at all, definitely a warranty item just like if any battery in the car failed within warranty.

Given they all do the same miles and all were originally fitted at the same time, likely from the same batch, I am expecting my others will have the same fate over the coming year.

Quick update, car booked in for the TPMS replacement under warranty on Thursday, also going to do something with the boot strut o-ring.
