TPMS Sensors

[phillipj]

Where exactly are the TPMS sensors located? Are they inside the wheel and tire or outside?

Thanks

The transmitters internal to the wheel.

The transmitter is attached on the inside of the valve stem.

Thanks for the reply. So these transmitters can be switched to a new set of wheels and tires?

I guess what I'm saying is that I may be getting new wheels and tires. I've been told I can use the sensors off the stock wheels...the question is if I buy the wheels and tires (and have them shipped mounted and balanced) will I be able to switch the sensors?

Phillip,

The TPMS must be installed prior to mount and balance. However, they may not fit your new rims, it all depends on the wheel profile. The wheel manufacturer or installer should know if they will work. So, in answer to your question, you will have to re-mount and balance the wheels and tires if they do fit. Attached is a picture of a sensor.

Can I install this on my car? I mean does it require special wiring or is it just this 'sensor' being installed?

Thanks

The receiver is wired thru the wiring harness. Very

expensive if you car does not have the receiver.
