Replacement Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensors

Check your vehicle's year, make, model, and trim for the correct sensor frequency and valve type; consult the vehicle service manual or a parts-compatibility lookup using the OEM part number or VIN to ensure fitment

OEM sensors match factory specifications and coding, while aftermarket sensors are typically less expensive and can be fully compatible if they match frequency, protocol, and fit; choose based on compatibility, available programming tools, and your budget

Replacement TPMS sensors commonly range from budget options under $50 per sensor to higher-end units over $150, with average marketplace prices around $100 per sensor depending on brand and features

Most vehicles require sensor programming or a relearn procedure after installation using a TPMS tool, scan tool, or by following a vehicle-specific relearn sequence; some aftermarket sensors come pre-programmed or use auto-learnt relearn methods

TPMS sensors commonly last 5–10 years or until the battery fails; maintenance includes replacing sensors when batteries die, checking valve cores and seals during tire service, and ensuring proper torque to prevent leaks

You can replace a single failed sensor, but technicians often recommend replacing sensors in pairs or all four if others are near end-of-life to avoid repeated tire dismounting and ensure consistent performance

Compare sensor frequency (e.g., 315/433 MHz), valve type (metal vs. rubber stem), compatibility with your vehicle's protocol, ease of programming, battery life, and whether the sensor is serviceable or non-serviceable
