My wife's grand caravan has had trouble with them for the last 4 years or more. One of the work trucks has at least 1 dead sensor in it too.
Seems like one can reasonably expect a 2-5 year lifespan on the blasted things before they start to act up.
Her van only has the tire light (no display)so diagnosis requires a scanner. Hers actually corroded through at the valve stem and she had a flat out on the road with the first one. I changed 2 of them and within a week one of the remaining 2 had failed. Fancy non flexible all aluminum valve stems readily corrode with the road salt in my area.
The last time she had a flat on an old sensor wheel I said out a regular valve stem in... Saved $100...
I found some that look like a regular rubber valve stem closer to the $50 range last time I was looking. May try those next time...
Convenient when they work and give a true reading. One more light in your face later on imho.
Mandated safety garbage... My billfold protests...

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
