Thanks for checking. Maybe it's a rechargeable battery that stores the power generated through rotation?

I called Harwoods this morning to check. Apparently the TPMS sensors fitted to the Freelander 2 (presumably other Land Rovers as well) have no batteries. They generate their own power on rotation so no maintenance required. Clever!

I've checked the owners manual but that only covers normal operations and error states - there's nothing I can see about maintenance. I did read somewhere that some TPMS sensors are sealed with lithium batteries which last 5-10 years. If that's the case then I'm about out of time ... :confused:

;) no that only happened the one time - I've been careful to steer clear of icy hills since then :cool:

I am having the 2 front tyres on my 2014 Freelander 2 Metropolis changed on Monday. The car has the factory fitted TPMS system installed. While the tyres are off, is there anything I should be doing to service the TPMS sensors - like changing the batteries? Thanks

Thanks for confirming @Hippo

It was in snow mode however I hadn't engaged HDC - something I thought about after we had reached the bottom the hill! I did wonder though, given we had so liitle grip - literally only enough to steer by - whether the added drag of the motor via HDC would have caused us to spin? Certainly...

Yes - that's probably more accurate :):):)

I know - it's perfectly logical when you think about it :) It reminded me of the first time I hit a steepish slope after learning how to snow plough (ski) - anyone who has skied before will know that snow ploughing has it's limitation and becomes Ineffective after a certain speed (or slope...

Morning all The wife and I are now the proud owners of a 2014 Freelander 2 Metropolis. A very nice car although we did find out on the first day we got it, that being a 4x4 doesn't give much advantage when 'driving' down a slope covered in ice! Can anyone tell me whether the Electronic...
