One Tire Pressure Sensor Isn’t Working (No Pressure / No Data)

One Tire Pressure Sensor Isn’t Working (No Pressure / No Data)

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.

Applies to: Chigee Display TPMS, G3 TPMS


Step-by-Step (Do These in Order)

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

    • Model: Use BR1225A 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 vs External Sensor Battery Policy

  • External Tire Pressure Sensors

    • Battery is user-replaceableBR1225A.

    • 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).


Quick Checks (Helpful)

  • 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.
