I think the Bartech and Schrader hand held scanners can detect and identify a dead, weak or otherwise faulty sensor. At least that what is says in their literature. They say that the tire installer should test the sensors before touching the old tires and inform the customer if anything is wrong with the sensors. This is to avoid the customer blaming them if there is a problem after the tires are installed, that makes sense to me.

This is not rocket science, lets face it, if it was hard the dealers could not do it. There is no need to run to the dealer if you deal with a properly equipped tire dealer.
