Subaru Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Subaru vehicles use a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to monitor the tire pressure and alert the driver if there is an issue with tire inflation. The TPMS in Subaru vehicles is designed to comply with the Federal motor vehicle safety standard established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The Subaru TPMS is manufactured by Schrader Electronics. Schrader Electronics is a leading manufacturer of TPMS systems and provides TPMS sensors for various Subaru models, including the B9 Tribeca, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, and Tribeca.
When the TPMS warning light comes on in a Subaru, it indicates that either one of the tires is under-inflated or there is a fault with the system. If the light stays on after correct inflation or replacement of a punctured tire, it indicates a fault with the TPMS system.
If tires are rotated on a Subaru Crosstrek, the performance and function of the TPMS are not affected. However, it is recommended to perform a TPMS reset to transfer sensor IDs because the tire position may not display correctly in the Subaru Select Monitor.
To replace TPMS sensors or perform TPMS relearn procedures on Subaru vehicles, it is recommended to use TPMS tools such as the Tech600Pro TPMS tool from Bartec. Bartec is a leading provider of TPMS tools and offers comprehensive support for TPMS replacement and usage on all vehicles, including Subaru.
In summary, Subaru vehicles use a TPMS manufactured by Schrader Electronics. The TPMS monitors tire pressure and alerts the driver if there is an issue with tire inflation. It is recommended to use TPMS tools like the Tech600Pro TPMS tool from Bartec for TPMS replacement and relearn procedures on Subaru vehicles.

What kind of TPMS does Subaru use?
The manufacturers of the Subaru TPMS are Schrader Electronics. The tables below show which models they are fitted to. Grey indicates either no TPMS, it was indirect TPMS, or the model was discontinued.
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.
Where is the TPMS module on a Subaru?
So and then there’s the module see that stud. There there’s two of those studs Two Nuts uh you do those you can pull it up out of the. Way then the carpet lays back in nice and easy.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
How do I know which TPMS sensor I need?
And rock salt. While some ouais sensors do not fit a rubber stem. Many now do as more OE suppliers. Are starting to switch over to rubber determine.
