Adding TPMS to new alloys
« on: January 19, 2015, 04:30:23 pm »
So I've got a new set of wheels on their way to me, genuine 17" Monzas which I shall have refurbed... The current wheels have the tyre pressure monitoring in them and I'd like to duplicate this on the new rims but not sure what I need to do to get it working. Anyone done this, is it just a case of get a new set of appropriate valves and everything will be picked up, or do I need to "pair" the valves to the car???

Anyone got a source for cheap TPMS valves?

If it's the standard fit tyre monitoring then you don't have to do anything, just reset it when the other wheels are fitted. If it's aftermarket then you'll need new sensors. The standard fit just uses the ABS sensors to detect wheel rpms. If one is spinning at a different speed then it assumes that wheel has a lower pressure than the others...

His system is different. You talking about TPMS Low. His is High.
You will nee wiring and a small module fitted outside, near rear axle
