The TPMS sensors apparently have batteries that go out after about 5 years. The tire shop replaced mine for $60. Saw online different places charging $150 or more. ouch.

wow.
When my tires are due to be changed this winter, I'll have them change the TPMS batteries at the same time.

can't just change the batteries- have to replace the sensor. They are built in. So add $240 to the cost of those tires.

That is correct about not being able to change batteries. I am now on my third TPS on an '07 GMC Sierra. Mine has a slightly different sensor as I have the trailer towing package and Z71 with two-wheel drive. I don't understand why but the parts house 'puter list them this way.
