Come to think of it, it seems now there are a few aftermarket ones that are reported to work as well (manufacturers knew there would be a market for undercutting dealership service departments huh).


If it were possible to open them (mine) up, I bet it would be quite the effort and problem, to find/replace that battery (including making sure the connection was 100% fault free/corrosion resistant). Remember also, the pressure transducer must not be damaged or plugged up/blocked in any way after re-sealing the thing. Thanks Dave, for the pictures! I believe this is the first time I have ever seen a 'cleaned' TPMS board in its entirety!

I cannot say they are the ones in some Crossfires, about the correct shape though.
There were two makers for our TPMS, Schrader and Siemens. Are yours Siemens?
