What Does C0760 Mean?
This code indicates that the Body Control Module (BCM) or dedicated Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) receiver module has lost radio frequency communication from one or more tire pressure sensors. The system continuously monitors RF transmissions from sensors mounted inside each tire, and when a sensor fails to transmit within the expected timeframe, this code is set. This affects the vehicle's ability to alert the driver to low tire pressure conditions.
Common Causes
45%
Dead or weak tire pressure sensor battery (typical lifespan 5-10 years)
30%
Physical damage to TPMS sensor from tire service, corrosion, or impact
15%
TPMS sensor incorrectly programmed, not initialized, or not relearned to vehicle
10%
Faulty TPMS receiver module or antenna circuit
Diagnostic Steps
1
Use TPMS diagnostic tool or scan tool with TPMS function to activate each sensor individually and identify which sensor(s) are not responding or transmitting
2
Perform visual inspection of identified tire(s): check for recent tire repairs, valve stem damage, corrosion, or signs of impact to wheel that could damage internal sensor
3
Check tire pressure on non-transmitting wheel(s) and verify valve core is not leaking; a slow leak may indicate sensor valve stem failure
4
If sensor is identified as faulty, attempt TPMS relearn procedure per manufacturer specifications to rule out programming issue before replacement
5
If sensor replacement is required, replace sensor, perform proper torque on mounting hardware (typically 62-80 in-lbs for band-clamp style), and complete vehicle-specific relearn procedure
6
Clear codes, test drive vehicle for 10-15 minutes above 20 mph, and verify all sensors transmit properly and code does not return
Estimated Repair Cost

The most common cause of C0760 (Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system sensor not transmitting) is: Dead or weak tire pressure sensor battery (typical lifespan 5-10 years)
Typical repair costs for C0760 range from $75 to $350, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Vehicle is safe to drive, but the TPMS warning light will remain illuminated and the system cannot alert you to dangerous low tire pressure conditions. Check tire pressures manually and regularly until repaired, as underinflated tires increase risk of blowout and reduce vehicle handling.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to C0760 to identify the root cause.
