TPMS sensor

Pakistaniuser28

Hi, My Vauxhall Corsa 2014 D has a tpms sensor lamp on the dashboard. I've taken it to the dealership as I'm aware this would be a MOT failure. They quoted 300 last time to fix the ecu as the sensors are fine. I've been to a garage and they've shown me that it's an ecu fault and so the dealership don't seem wrong. But 300 seems to be a bit too much so I came here wondering if anyone has any idea on how to fix the malfunction? Or if there's any way to turn this lamp off because I regularly monitor the tyre pressures myself and this tpms system is kind of pricey to maintain. If not if anyone has fixed it before, if it was the ecu, reprogramming costs please? Anything would help.

Thanks

The tyre pressure sensors are automatically learned to the vehicle by a stand-alone TPMS control unit. To initiate the learn procedure, vehicle has to be left standing still for 20 minutes with the ignition off (sensors go into sleep mode) and afterwards by performing a learn drive of app. 10 minutes in a speed range between 25 to 60 mph.
As this system has a stand-alone TPMS control module, it can only store one set of nominal pressures. Therefore, after any adjustment of the tyre pressures, the nominal pressures must be re-learned. This has to be done by pressing the DDS button for about four seconds (TPMS telltale flashes three times to confirm) and performing a learn drive of approx. 10 minutes in a speed range of 25 to 60 mph.

The above taken from a quick G-search, so if the reset procedures do not work then then yeah the module will require some work and is not free of labour and diagnostic fees.

If the module itself is faulty, these things aren't cheap. The module itself for my last car was £550 alone, so £300 inc fitting seems great to me!

I'd have thought that 6-7 year old TPMS sensors would be possibly be nearing end of life? A quick google shows life expectancy averaging 7 years and the more you drive it the lower the life expectancy would be.
