Title: TPM ............
Post by: Bluesman on December 14, 2025, 10:38:39 AM
The rear TPM has stopped showing pressure, can you change the batteries in them? Do they need to be paired after?

If yours is a 2007, then I thing you'll be lucky.  It is possible to chanhe the bayyery and I have done so.  The earlier ones are easy to pull apart, but later ones are set in resin and its much messier to pull open.

The battery inside has a tab soldered/welded to itand it  is possible to solder up a conventional ballery

That's a great help mate. I'll be fitting new tyres in the next week or so will do it then. I'm thinking that they won't need pairing after just a battery change, is that correct?

So on the newer ones you can replace it with a version from a specific car (can't remember off the top of my head). It's cheaper but you have to get them programmed. There was some hardware that would program your new one but it looks like it's no longer available. 

I'm dreading when mine go because I really like the TPS

So from that link, this is the pad that you need to programme it which is hard to source

Thanks, purchased, been looking for one for ages!


My bike is 2011, think they were replaced already once under warranty, so they'll be about 10 years old. Roughly the time they start to go I think

Arrived today.
I've no need to use it as yet, just a backup for when I do need to use it

The rear TPM sensor was full of tyre sealant to such an extent that when I removed the valve the tyre remained inflated! The sensors are the moulded type, didn't see a way to change the batteries. Hopefully the sensor will now work.
