Low tire indicator

I've only had a couple off and haven't paid much attention. I don't think
the battery is replaceable. If you have a system which tells you which
tire is low (not sure which cars have which system), there is a
transmitter in the fender well which sends a radio signal to turn on the
TPMS sensor. I.e., it's off when needed, saving on battery life.

GM actually used a system which used the wheel speed. It proved
troublesome. Rotating the tires would cause the tire pressure lamp to
illuminate a few miles down the road.

But, at least on my GM model, you can just press the reset button so it can
adjust itself to the new position/condition.

Thanks HT. I assumed it would be replaceable by the photo of it I have seen.
That makes sense though, kinda like WOL (wake on LAN).
