What is the life span of the Tire Pressure Monitor System monitor in the tire? XC90 2016

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugh on  Fri Jan 22 13:27 CST 2021 [RELATED]

Hello All,

I own a 2016 XC90 T8 Inscription Hybrid Plug-In. I have had confirmed by my local Volvo dealer this car has "direct" TPMS, that is the tire pressure sensor is built into the valve stem and is powered by a sealed battery. When the batter fails, you don't replace the battery, you replace the whole valve stem assembly. These valve stems cost $113 each and their part number is # 31362304. I asked the clerk at the dealer's parts department what the lifespan was for the TPMS sensors on the 2016 XC90? He said none of them in his experience had failed to date.

So I pose the same question to fellow 2016 XC90 owners: Have any of you had to replace the TPMS sensors yet? I was advised by the clerk that Volvo changed to an "indirect" TPMS the next model where where a sensor in the ABS system monitors the tire pressure instead of the sensor in the valve stem.

Thank you in advance to all who reply. Incidentally, and I say this with crossed fingers, none of the TPMS sensors have failed on my XC90 yet, though it is now over 4 years old and has 65,000 miles on the odometer. Hope springs eternal.

Hugh
