The check tire pressure sensor has been on for several months, but every time I checked the tire pressure on the tires, they were fine. Recently, I developed a slow leak in my LF tire, so I went to get it replaced. The tire shop said that the Tire Pressure Sensor was "leaking", which I have never heard of. I wanted to have it checked by the dealer because I have a service contract that might cover it. Can a sensor "leak"? If so, can it cause the tire to wear faster, because they said that there wasn't a leak in the tire, it was worn and I bought it as a CPO from a dealer. Lastly, they said I should replace both front tires so I have the same kind of tire on the axel, I've never heard that before either, but I'm also not very knowledgeable about cars, is that accurate?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2014 Acura ILX. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Yes you can have a leak from a TPC sensor. It can either crack or not seal properly against the wheel. Both front tires should be fairly close in thread so if the other one is worn out or has a lot of miles you should do them in pairs. Ask the shop to measure the other tire.
