![]() Regardless of what you drive or whether you’re installing OE or aftermarket TPMS sensors, we have the programming, relearning, and cloning tools for the job. Another alternative that can be used on some sensors is “cloning” using a cloning tool, which programs the old sensor’s ID Number to the new sensor. A small number of vehicles can perform this relearn automatically by driving the vehicle, but most vehicles require a relearn/activation tool or a scan tool that plugs into the vehicle’s OBD-II (On Board Diagnostics) port. But even if the new sensor is programmed properly it typically must also undergo a “relearn” procedure for full activation and functionality and so the system recognizes the sensor and its location on the vehicle. If a replacement sensor is not pre-programmed, it must be programmed using a TPMS programming tool. TPMS systems are proprietary, and the procedures required for sensor recognition vary according to vehicle manufacturer, and procedures also depend on sensor configuration.Īll OE and many aftermarket TPMS sensors are pre-programmed to function with the vehicle’s particular TPMS system. ![]() When installing one or more replacement TPMS sensors, the path to achieving this functionality depends on the vehicle and the sensor(s) being installed. For the TPMS system to function properly, the TPMS control module must recognize these numbers, and for systems that indicate individual tire pressure, it must also recognize the sensor’s location on the vehicle. Like any electronic automotive system, TPMS effectiveness depends on the system’s computer receiving accurate data from the TPMS sensors, and when you replace sensors you can ensure they’ll function properly with our TPMS programming tools.Įach TPMS sensor has a unique identification (ID) number. Many direct TPMS systems also allow the driver to monitor tire pressure by displaying the inflation pressure in all 4 tires, and some can even display tire temperature. Original Equipment (OE) Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) alert the driver via dashboard warning light if the air pressure in any tire drops below 25% of the recommended cold inflation pressure.
