Can a TPMS sensor be reset at the shop?
If you don’t want to do this at the shop, you can use a TPMS reset tool to reset the sensors on your own. It’s usually recommended that you go a few miles at 50 mph to allow the sensors to fully calibrate and learn the behavior of the new tires.
Which is better original equipment or aftermarket TPMS?
Original equipment is the way to go. There’s tons of information about OE TPMS available to the public. To access the information you can try the following methods: Call your local auto shop / wheel and tire shop.
How much does it cost to remove TPMS from tires?
The tire tech would have to dismount your existing tires in order to remove your TPMS. The average shop charges anywhere from $12 to $24 per tire depending on the wheel diameter.
When does the TPMS warning light come back on?
This is not the case with many aftermarket sensors. The TPMS warning light would turn on again shortly after getting back on the road, resulting in wasted time and frustration. Some drivers would take their vehicle to the local auto shop and have the sensors reset, only to have the light come back on 30 minutes later.

Can a car be made inoperative without TPMS?
“We assume that the vehicle has a functioning TPMS system at the time he or she purchases aftermarket tires and wheels. In that case, a service provider would violate the ‘make inoperative’ prohibition of 49 USC 30122 (b) by installing new tires and wheels that do not have a functioning TPMS.
Can a custom tire be installed with TPMs?
To avoid a ‘make inoperative’ violation, the service provider would need to decline to install the new tires and rims, use the TPMS sensors from the original wheels (if they are compatible), or convince the motorist to purchase new TPMS sensors and ensure that the sensors are properly integrated with the vehicle’s TPMS.”
