Any time that a substance other than tire service center air or nitrogen is introduced into the tire, there is the potential to damage the TPMS sensor in the tire. However, if tire sealant has been used, your local TPMS installer can assess the sensor functionality and determine if the sensor is working properly or if it needs to be repaired or replaced.
