What kind of TPMS sensor does Subaru use?

TPMS Sensor Used by Subaru
Subaru uses a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor for its vehicles. The TPMS sensor is used to monitor the tire pressure and is an essential component for ensuring proper tire maintenance and safety. The specific TPMS sensor used by Subaru is the 28103AG01C sensor, which is a valve assembly TPMS sensor used in various Subaru models such as Crosstrek, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, STI, and Tribeca.
Additionally, there are aftermarket TPMS sensors compatible with Subaru vehicles, such as the BDFHYK TPMS Sensor and the Ensun 28103-SG000 Programmed Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor 315MHz. These sensors are designed to be compatible with specific Subaru models and provide programmed tire pressure monitoring capabilities.
It’s important to note that Subaru vehicles do not have an inbuilt relearn mode to enable the vehicles to relearn the TPMS IDs when a TPMS repair tool is used to activate the sensor. Therefore, it is recommended to have access to a Bartec Tech600Pro tool for diagnosing Subaru TPMS issues and communicating with the vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU) to download TPMS data.
In summary, Subaru utilizes the 28103AG01C TPMS sensor, and there are compatible aftermarket options available for Subaru vehicles as well.

How do I know if my car has direct or indirect TPMS?

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 know which TPMS sensor I have?

Using a washer rubber grommet and a hex nut. Number three is the banded sensor. It is fastened to the drop center of the wheel inside the mounted tire and wheel assembly.

Are all TPMS sensors compatible?

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 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.

What is the disadvantage of indirect TPMS?

However, indirect TPMS is not without its limitations: Less Precision: It may not be as accurate as direct TPMS, especially in cases where all tires lose pressure uniformly. Calibration Requirement: The system requires recalibration after inflating tires or changing tire sizes.

What is the TPMS issue on a Subaru?

The TPMS light indicates that one or more of your tires on your Subaru is low on pressure. This might be a result of a puncture or a leak, or it could just the result of a big swing in the outside temperature.

What brand of TPMS sensors does Subaru use?

Schrader Electronics
The manufacturers of the Subaru TPMS are Schrader Electronics. The tables below show which models they are fitted to.

Who makes Subaru OEM o2 sensors?

Denso brand
The Denso brand is what Subaru uses as OEM.

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.

Are OEM TPMS sensors better than aftermarket?

OE TPMS Sensors last longer, have a 1 in 1 million failure rate, come with a manufacturer warranty, and are much better understood by auto shops around the country. Don’t waste money and time with cheap knock offs. Never compromise your safety and the safety of other to save a buck.
