A-Premium TPMS sensors are vehicle-specific and designed for particular models. Please select based on your vehicle make/model. If your model isn’t listed, contact us via chat or email: [email protected].

Since the 2008 model year, the U.S. Department of Transportation has mandated the installation of tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in all new passenger vehicles, multipurpose vehicles, trucks, and buses with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less (excluding vehicles with dual wheels on an axle). This legal requirement for TPMS arose from congressional hearings that linked vehicle rollover fatalities, in part, to accidents caused by underinflated tires.

• Stay on warning light: Indicates at least one tire is underinflated. Use a tire pressure gauge to check all tires, then inflate or service as needed. If tires show no issues but the light remains on, it may signal a faulty TPMS sensor.
• Intermittent on-off light: Likely caused by temperature-induced pressure fluctuations. Verify tire pressures and add air to any underinflated tires.
• Flashing light for 60-90 seconds followed by stay on: Suggests a potential TPMS sensor issue. Inspect the sensor and consider replacing it if faulty.

Direct TPMS collects precise pressure data directly from the tire valve through four dedicated sensors, providing near real-time pressure readings. In contrast, indirect TPMS relies on the ABS system to estimate tire pressure, requiring drivers to travel a significant distance before an alert is triggered.

A-Premium’s TPMS sensors are all direct-type, which measure tire pressure directly via built-in sensors inside each wheel. This design offers precise real-time readings to detect even minor pressure changes promptly, enhancing safety. It also helps maintain optimal tire pressure for better fuel efficiency and reduces uneven tire wear, extending their lifespan.

The primary difference between pre-programmed and programmable TPMS sensors is rooted in their initial configuration and integration with a vehicle's TPMS system. Pre-programmed sensors, frequently OE (Original Equipment) or OE-equivalent replacements, come preloaded with vehicle-specific data. They are engineered to work directly with a specific make and model, eliminating the need for additional programming. Programmable sensors, conversely, are blank or generic and require programming with the appropriate vehicle information via a specialized TPMS tool before installation, enabling them to function with a specific vehicle.

All A-Premium brand TPMS sensors are pre-programmed, offering hassle-free installation with vehicle-specific data preloaded.

No. Pre-programmed does not mean auto-relearn.
Pre-programmed TPMS sensors still require a re-learning procedure to communicate with the car’s ECU and transmit data.

TPMS sensor replacement necessitates a tire changer, and wheel balancing is crucial after installation. If you own a tire changer, balancer, appropriate installation tools, and relearn tools(models with auto-relearn capabilities may not require this—check our product compatibility details before purchase), you can try replacing the sensor.

All A-Premium TPMS sensors come with 3-year warranty and 90-day free return policy.
