CHIGEE tire pressure sensor shows no data

Troubleshoot a tire sensor that shows no pressure data by checking the battery, pairing, sensor position and replacement needs.

If one wheel on the tire pressure monitor shows no data, start with the battery (for external sensors), then isolate whether it’s a pairing issue, a wheel/position issue, or a faulty sensor.

This article covers CHIGEE tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors used with a CHIGEE Display or G3.

Try these checks in order

  1. Replace the battery (External sensors first) — highest success rate

    • Model: Use BR1225A or BR1225 coin battery (user-replaceable).

    • Replace the non-working external sensor’s battery, re-install, and wait 1–2 minutes (or ride briefly) to wake it.

    • If it starts working after battery replacement → the old battery was depleted.

    • Tip: Check polarity, keep the O-ring clean, and hand-tighten the cap.

  2. Re-pair (match) the sensor

    • Open the TPMS pairing screen and relearn the sensor for the position that shows no data.

    • Save and wait 1–2 minutes for the first reading (ride above ~20–30 km/h to wake the sensor if needed).

  3. Swap front ↔ rear sensors

    • Physically swap the two sensors (front ↔ rear), then check readings again.

    • If the problem follows the same sensor → that sensor is likely faulty.

    • If the problem stays on the same wheel position → re-check pairing for that position; inspect the valve/core, wiring/receiver placement, and possible RF interference.


Internal and external sensor batteries

  • External Tire Pressure Sensors

    • Battery is user-replaceable → BR1225A or BR1225.

    • Carry a spare; replace both front & rear if batteries are old to keep readings consistent.

  • Internal Tire Pressure Sensors

    • Battery is not replaceable.

    • When depleted, you’ll need to purchase a new internal sensor (tire/wheel removal required for service).


Check the installation

  • Wake the sensor: Short ride to wake sleeping sensors.

  • Valve & core: Ensure the valve isn’t leaking and the core is tight.

  • Clearance & sealing: For external sensors, confirm no contact with spokes/brakes; O-ring intact.

  • Interference: Test away from large metal objects/accessories that could block RF.

If the sensor still shows no data, contact us with your sensor type, display model, battery type and the results of the pairing and position checks.
