Also called: tyre pressure sensor
Across 21 popular vehicles
TPMS sensors sit inside each wheel and report tyre pressure to the dashboard. They run on a sealed battery that lasts roughly five to ten years and cannot be replaced on its own, so the whole sensor is changed. New sensors usually need programming to the car.
A single national average hides the thing you actually want to know, which is whether your car sits at the cheap or expensive end. Usually it is access rather than the part that moves the price: the same component can take an hour on one engine layout and most of a day on another.

The ranges above cover a spread of vehicles. Enter a VIN and the report gives the estimate for that exact year, make, model and trim, alongside what the car has actually been through: accidents, title brands, odometer readings and open recalls.
Not mechanical, but in many places a permanently lit warning light is an inspection failure, and a dead sensor means losing a genuine slow puncture warning.
Expect $170–$536 in total: $68–$214 for parts and $102–$322 for labor. Figures are drawn from 21 popular vehicles, so your car may sit at either end.
The tyre pressure warning light staying on with correctly inflated tyres. One wheel permanently showing no reading. The light appearing right after new tyres were fitted.
Access is usually the reason rather than the part itself. Across the vehicles we sampled, a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 comes to $170–$230 while a 2015 Ford Mustang comes to $396–$536 for the same job.
Enter your VIN. The report includes the repair cost estimates for that specific year, make, model and trim, alongside its history: accidents, title brands, odometer readings and open recalls.
About these figures. Parts and labor ranges are supplied by a licensed vehicle-data provider and reflect a sample of 21 popular vehicles as of 2026-09-17. They are estimates for comparison, not quotes. What you actually pay depends on your vehicle, your local labor rate, whether the shop fits original-equipment or aftermarket parts, and what else is found once the job starts.
