Does TPMS use batteries?
it does but i dont think its serviceable, in the sense that you need to replace the sensor when its dead but it should last at least 5yrs/60k before going out depending on how much you drive.
But you are right, we should inspect our vehicles, especially the tires, but most people don't.

If you have the light on either you need air or it needs to be replace. When i got mine replace, the battery in one of them was dead and they told me they just replaced it
Just checked with my service guy; he confirmed the Elite Extended warranty does indeed cover TPMS. I guess I will get mine taken care of then.

Thanks to all.
The issue with mine is that when I start the car, it blinks for a minute and then it stays on.
My tires pressure are ok.
I found possible causes:
1- The fuse for combination meter from battery is pulled out.
Check the fuse for combination meter from battery. Install
or replace (if needed).
2- BCM connector pulled out.
Check BCM connector. Reconnect if needed.
3- Low tire pressure or tire pressure monitoring system malfunction.
- Perform CONSULT-III Self-Diagnosis. Refer to WT-12,
"AIR PRESSURE MONITOR: CONSULT-III Function (BCM - AIR PRESSURE MONITOR)".
- Perform ID Registration if needed. Refer to WT-5, "ID REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
: Special Repair Requirement

Does it cover reprogramming the sensors? I came to the dealer earlier this week due the TPMS light flashing and then turning solid. Turns out they had to be reprogrammed for reasons I was told that "it happens sometimes" but I did absolutely nothing with the tires. I was still charged labor although I have Elite extended coverage.
