how do I reset my baseline tire pressure?

You can remove the sensor from the valve stem for 60 seconds.  This will “blank out” the previous baseline reading 

and allow the system to accept a new baseline value.  Screw the sensor back on the valve stem.  Select          and it 

will establish a new baseline value.

What do I do with the sensors when I rotate my tires? 

Rotating your tires is an important part of ensuring even tire wear and maximizing your tread life.  We suggest that 

you create a wheel diagram of your vehicle or trailer.  Remove all sensors and position them on the corresponding 

location, e.g., place the sensor from the left front tire on the corresponding paper where you’ve drawn the vehicle.   

After you have rotated the tires, simply return the sensors to the proper location, i.e., left front sensor to the new 

left front tire.  This will ensure that the display keeps the sensors in the identical position on the monitor.

Should I remove the sensors if I store my vehicle or trailer?

If you’re going to store your vehicle or trailer for more than 30 days, we recommend that you remove the sensors.  

Screwing the sensors onto the valve stems triggers the sensor to send signals.   Removing them will help preserve 

the battery, giving you the longest possible battery use.

Tip:

  

An old egg carton is an ideal place to store your sensors.  Remember to label your sensors to return 

to the same tire location.

how long will my sensor batteries last?

Battery life is a function of many factors.  Commonly, batteries in your sensor will last 4 years.  If you experience 

excessive warnings, your battery life may be shorter.  Similarly, it is possible to have longer battery life if you have 

placed less energy demands on the sensor.

Can I replace the sensor batteries?

Your sensors have been designed to withstand extreme conditions for temperature, vibration and moisture 

infiltration.  To ensure that the pressure sensors have the highest reliability, the sensor housing is permanently  

sealed.  Batteries cannot be replaced.   When your sensors expire, simply purchase a new nVISION TPMS sensor 

replacement.
