TPMS Warning

My '19 488 occasionally throws "lift system failure" messages after I back-out of driveway and attempt to get going before it's fully lowered. Turn off/on again always sorts it out. Perhaps this will work in your case?

 

Have you actually measured the tire pressures?

 

Darren: I purchased a TPMS tool from Tire Rack. It will identify and measure the battery in your rim. My TPMS wheel devices in my Superamerica (Euro Version) only lasted about 8 years. When ever I have new tires installed I check the batteries. That is the time to replace them. I do not know if high end tire shops will advise customers when new tires are mounted. It would be a wonderful service for their customers. Tire Rack also has those batteries. I have heard that the newer batteries last longer. The tool is great for measuring the batteries on any of your neighbor's cars who throw a warning light. When Uncle Sam told us we needed TPMS he did not tell us how expensive they were to replace.

Are the TPMS batteries replaceable?

 

Depending on the type of sensors used I believe there’s 3 types 1 has a your mom aluminum stem 2 is a replaceable rubber stem and last is a band that is wrap around or clamp to the inside of the rim
As far as battery the vehicle will check the TPMS and the EVAP system about an hour after the car was driven and if there is a problem the body controller will recheck more frequently and draw the battery down
If the system passes the controller will shorten the time it tests

On the California series (I have a Portofino),you have to replace the whole unit. Member dinoart found some inexpensive units from MORE SENSOR;I think they were $80 for four.
