No programming required before installation - follow OE relearn procedure after installation.
When a TPMS Sensor fails, you'll want to replace it easily with a DENSO First Time Fit® TPMS sensor. Unlike one-size-fits-all sensors, DENSO has developed sensors that never need to be programmed or cloned before installation – they're built to the specified vehicle right out of the box {note: new ID numbers will need to be registered through the OBD II port}. With DENSO, installation is a snap — their TPMS Sensors relearn just like an OE part, restoring the vehicle to its original condition.
Service sensors with DENSO's First Time Fit TPMS components every time the tire is removed to ensure safe operation.
Features
Immediate coverage for applications which cannot be programmed
Tested to OE specifications
10 year battery
OE technology preserves diagnostic trouble codes
Quick, direct-fit installation (no cloning or programming)
Metal Valve (Clamp-In) style TPMS Sensors have higher speed ratings (typically up to 155 mph) than Rubber Valve (Snap-In) styles (typically up to 115 mph).
Metal (Clamp-In) Installation: The valve piece is attached to the sensor body, and the valve core is secured with a nut and rubber grommet.
Program vs. Clone vs. Relearn
Don't confuse TPMS Sensor Relearning, Programming and Cloning! Some processes require a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Programming Tool to complete, but not all processes are required (or available) for every application.
PROGRAM
Required onlyfor Universal (Programmable) Sensors, in addition to TPMS Sensor Relearning. A TPMS Tool is required to:
Program the specific Year/Make/Model protocol for the vehicle into the sensor
Create or Clone a sensor ID onto the sensor
BEFORE INSTALLATION
CLONE
Ideal for drivers who frequently swap wheels/tires, such as during the winter season. A relearn procedure is not required when sensors are cloned. A TPMS Tool is required to:
Copy/Clone the unique ID from the original TPMS Sensor to the replacement sensor
BEFORE INSTALLATION
RELEARN
Required when a new (not cloned) sensor ID is introduced or when the tires are rotated. A TPMS Tool may be required to:
Write the unique sensor IDs to the vehicle's computer
Assign the IDs to the correct wheel position (for vehicles that display pressure by location)
