How does the TPMS work on a Chrysler Town and Country?
How does the TPMS work on a Chrysler Town and Country?
The premium TPMS consists of tire pressure monitoring sensors attached to each road wheel through the valve stem mounting hole, a wireless control module, three wheel sensor transponders located in three of the four wheel wells, an electronic display, and an indicator lamp.
When does TPMS reset on 2008 Chrysler TC?
2008 TC had tire repaired and new sensor installed in that wheel. Tires all properly inflated. Tire store and Chrysler Owner’s manual say TPMS will reset after driving “10 min at 15mph” (i.e. system should auto learn new sensor and reset itself).
How does MAF sensor work on Chrysler Town and Country?
A MAF sensor measures the density of the air entering the intake manifold. It passes this information onto your Town and Country’s ECU. The ECU uses this information along with other sensor data to control the amount of fuel that enters the combustion chamber. If you do determine that you need a new mass airflow sensor, they aren’t too expensive.
How much does it cost to replace a tire pressure sensor?
A mechanic can detect and patch the leak or replace the tire. They can also repair or replace the sensor system, if needed. Replacing the system can cost around $1,000. Always keep the cap screwed onto your tire valve stem—this will help prevent mud and other debris from damaging the pressure sensor.

What happens if your tire pressure sensor is stuck?
It may say “sensor-safe,” but it can cause problems if the fixer compound enters the hole through which the sensor measures pressure. If a sensor hole becomes plugged, it may become unable to take readings. A stuck low tire pressure light can be annoying and distracting to a driver.
