Are TPMS brand specific?
Yes, most TPMS sensors are vehicle specific. In cars with factory-installed TPMS sensors, the sensors are always vehicle-specific. Automakers get these systems from specific suppliers, and the supplier can vary from model to model. If you use an incompatible TPMS sensor, it likely won’t work with your car’s system.
How long do Subaru TPMS sensors last?
The life expectancy of the lithium ion batteries in a TPMS sensor is anywhere from 5-10 years. It’s hard to put an exact timeframe for how long TPMS sensor batteries will last as it depends on the number of radio frequency transmissions the sensors make.
Which manufacturers use indirect TPMS?
Indirect TPMS applications include:
- Audi 2011-’14.
- BMW X5 2002-’05.
- Honda Accord 2013-’14.
- Lexus LS430 2004-’06.
- Lexus RX330 2004-’06.
- Mazda CX-5 2013-’14.
- Mercedes C-Class 2007.
- Mercedes SLK 2005-’07.
What is the life expectancy of a Subaru TPMS sensor?
TPMS Life Expectancy
The estimated life expectancy of an OE TPMS sensor is 5 to 12 years, with the average lifespan being 7 years. TPMS life expectancy is directly related to the number of radio frequency transmissions the sensors make.
Does Subaru use direct or indirect TPMS?
Your Subaru uses the direct type, which uses a wheel-mounted, battery-powered sensor. More than likely, one or more of the tire pressure sensors is failing. These battery-powered sensors have an expected life of seven to 10 years.
What is the TPMS on a Subaru Outback?
And stay on until you properly inflate the tires. You can confirm the recommended cold pressure level by checking the tire pressure specifications listed on the driver’s side door panel.
What is the TPMS failure on a Subaru?
TPMS replacement is called for when the TPMS fails due to mechanical or electrical failure, broken accelerometer, low TPMS battery power or blocked pressure port. One of the most common causes of failure is inappropriate handling during wheel or tire removal or servicing.
What TPMS sensor does Subaru use?
The manufacturers of the Subaru TPMS are Schrader Electronics. The tables below show which models they are fitted to.
How do I know if my TPMS are direct or indirect?
Direct TPMS uses direct tire pressure sensors on each wheel to measure tire pressure while indirect TPMS does not use sensors. Indirect TPMS frequently use the anti-lock brake system (ABS) speed sensors to calculate pressure.
How do I program my Subaru TPMS?
Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then start the car and wait 20 minutes for recalibration. The reset button is usually beneath the steering wheel, or consult your user’s manual.
