Anyone have thoughts/advice on tyre pressure monitors? My right rear seems to have gone flat (battery, not tyre) during my recent 7 week absence. The other three only have 4-6 months of battery life according to the Durametric readout.

Error codes I'm getting are 800B: Wheel electronics rear right, and 8003: system disturbance.

Looking at buying a cheaper third party set instead of OEM and installing when I get around to buying a set of Michelin PSS.

Am keen to know what others have done in this situation.

I can't help you with advice on sensors but what version of Durametric do you have? I am looking to get my hands on one...want to make sure I can read sensor errors as well.

I found PILOT brand as a good replacement at much less cost and work just fine. No problem having them read on our cars system

Sensors from OEWheels have worked well for me. The Durametric Pro tool will report remaining months. I installed the set of OEWheels sensors about 7 months ago when I added after market Champion wheels and MPSS tires. The DM Pro tool reported 80 months remaining a few weeks back when I checked it.

Thanks guys, appreciate the responses. You've confirmed my course of action is sound.

I was using a Pro kit, but an Enthusiast kit would have worked fine for this case as I was not altering anything, just reading information.

You can see the difference between the two here.
