TPMS Sensors

Common questions

Do I need new sensors for aftermarket wheels

If you want the light off and the factory wheels left alone, yes. Sensors live inside the wheel, so a second set of wheels wants a second set of sensors. We fit and program them before the tire goes on and the car learns them with the relearn step for your make. The alternative is dismounting both sets of tires, which isn't cheaper.

How do I relearn the sensors

It's down to your make. Some cars pick up the new IDs by themselves after a short drive. Some want a dash menu, or a pressure drop at each tire in a set order. Some want a tool held to each wheel and then to the car. The product page lists the steps, and any tire shop with a TPMS tool can do the tool version quickly.

Why is my TPMS light blinking

A blink is a system fault, not a pressure warning. The car can't hear one of the sensors. Usually it was never programmed, or it's set to the wrong frequency, or the battery's flat. A solid light means low pressure, and that's a different problem. Run the relearn first. If it still blinks, one sensor isn't talking.

Can I move my factory sensors over

Yes, if a shop dismounts the factory tires to dig them out, and the labor costs about what new sensors would. The factory sensors keep their IDs so there's no relearn to do. The catch is that your original wheels now have nothing in them, so a seasonal swap means a light every time. Most people buy the second set.
