Tpms batteries

Hey guys and gals im a long time reader first time post. I own a 2011 fit with 27k miles on it. Recently the TPMS light came on. I checked all my tires and there pressure and everything is fine. So my assumption is that the batteries in one of the sensors has gone. I'm wondering if the sensors our kind of like headlights when you replace both they both seem to burn out at the same time. So instead of buying one do you think it would be wise to buy all 4 and just have them replaced. I know they're supposed to last between five and eight years but with the low mileage on my car I'm kind of in shock that the battery would go. So basically my question is by 1 or all four thanks guys and gals.

Do you know which one is bad?

I would replace it one by one or honestly just leave it and check psi every so often.

No I actually do not know which one it is. I will bring it to a tire place so they can scan them them just order the part online for $28 online instead of paying the dealership 150

That's a good deal on the sensors. so you're looking at about $200 with tax for all four with rebalance and new seals for the TPMS?

If all wheels dont have the tpms sensor, will it give a beeping alarm or just the TPMS light will be "ON" ? Is it okay or I need to put TPMS sensors?

Discount/Americas tire installs them and stocks the rebuild kits.

I think they charged me 20 bucks or so each to swap the batteries and for the o-ring kits installed when I got new tires..

Hummmm... for me though, they still charged me $60 in addition to rebalance all 4.
