It seems most states with mandatory vehicle inspections don't fail for TPMS problems.

    That only lists 18 states...

    My own state requires it despite that list implying they don't. Thus I really don't think that chart is completely accurate. If you have ANY warning lights on your dash at inspection you will be failed here.

    I did say most, not all. Some of the info on that page may be outdated, but obviously it would just be limited to those that require regular comprehensive inspections in the first place.

    I was able to easily look up the inspection guidelines from my states DMV page and confirm for myself that TPMS light is not a fail here so YMMV, but my point was essentially that it's more likely than not that bad sensors won't fail someone, not that nobody will get failed.

    18 out of 50 is not ‘most’.
