Denso 550-0105 TPMS Sensor, direct plug-and-play with no programming required , Black

Installed it on 2014 Toyota Camry. You'll need another TPMS scanner tool for relarning step by connecting the tool to OBD-II port, after the installation. Replaced two of the original Toyota OEM sensors and both have been working.

For those who are unaware, tire pressure monitoring sensors work on battery power. Battery gets weak or goes dead, your TPMS computer can't see that sensor and it eventually generates a code and lights up the little tire pressure warning light on your dash. Happened to me. Kept getting intermittent tire pressure warnings when I knew the tire pressure was good. Now, if you're a die hard do-it-yourself type, you can figure out which sensor / wheel is causing the problem - provided you have a scanner that can interface with your tpms system. My scanner told me the same sensor was generating all my codes. Ordered this one after a little research which led me to believe it was the oem model. At least for my car it is. Same size and weight and style, so I could change it without having to worry about throwing the tire out of balance. Here is where it gets interesting. Many reviews complained about their car not reading this sensor after installation. Mine did not either - initially. I can't speak for all makes and models, but my Rav4 did not "see" the new sensor upon installation. Each sensor comes with a unique number printed on it. Write this number down (or take a clear picture of the sensor) BEFORE you install the sensor and replace the tire. Now you must use your scanner - which must be bi-directional- to enter that number into the TPMS system computer - so that it knows to look for it. Depending on your scanner and system, you may also have to re-enter the numbers showing for the other sensors also - even if you didn't change them. This initialized all my sensors to my computer - and everything worked and read pressure properly, with the old discarded sensor no longer showing in the list. No fuss, no muss, pop the sensor in, tell the computer what sensor codes to look for and you're done. I suspect it is set up like this, so that if you're sitting at a light next to a car with a low tire, your computer doesn't pick up that sensor and give you a false warning light. As for the sensor itself, it appeared to be oem quality and brand, and was reading the tire pressure correctly. I have read that the batteries have an average life of about 7 years, and on this particular model, the battery was NOT replaceable. Based on that, I plan to order 3 more for the other tires and replace them before they start having problems. I can't say why the sensor is advertised as no programming required. Perhaps they mean you don't have to program it to measure tire pressure properly, but that's just a guess. Maybe had I driven the car for a few days, the computer would have self registered the sensor - also just a guess. But they will for sure work if you write down each sensor number and enter that information with a scanner.

Although this is listed as compatible with my 2016 Camry XSE, it isn’t. The Toyota dealer, an independent shop, and I couldn’t get things to work. The sensor IDs were manually entered into the ECU without success. The correct sensor for my car is Denso 550-0106 aka PMV-C015 aka Toyota\Lexus #42607-06030. I hope this helps someone else to avoid wasting a lot of time and $370 (cost + install and balancing). Please note that if purchased from a Toyota dealer, fitting kit #04423-0E010 is also needed.

So far so good. Installed it my self in 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid. Used Autel TPMS tool to relearn the new ID's. Easy to install and relearn. Do not buy cheap TPMS as batteries last only 1-3 years at the most. You will pay double, even if you are having car only for a year. Sometimes batteries last only 1 month. Will see how long these will last, but the last one lasted almost 10 years. This is the best for the money.

I have a Rav4 and my mechanic could not program it in my car. Don't know what was wrong.

Had to take it to a dealership to program

These are the exact same TPMS manufacturer (Denso) that you get from the Lexus Dealer. How do I know? The tire shop broke one of the Denso's I brought him from amazon, and I compared and replaced it with one from my local Lexus dealer. Only difference is that these come in a nice Denso box while the OE Lexus ones come in bubble wrap with a Lexus label. The part numbers on the TPMS and manufacturer stamps are the same. The installer had to read the ids with his tool and then put them into the ECU via OBD2 port and it worked like a champ. Stop wasting your money at the dealer and get these. My Lexus dealer charges $96 per TPMS before local taxes....OUCH! By the way, Lexus' are notorious to not work with the generic ones that you can clone and reprogram so it has to come from Toyota, Lexus, or their OE manufacturer Denso.

I purchased four Denso 550-105 sensors for a Toyota Rav4, 16. Had them installed and they did not work, I think like 3 of the 4?, tire shops could not help and ultimately recommended the Dealer. I ended up buying a TPMS tool that could write sensor Id's onto the ECU. The issue I had was that the old Id's were still on the ECU and the new ones didn't connect, as they have different Id's. The TPMS tool wrote over the old Id's and added the new Id's onto the ECU and now everything works fine. Everywhere I went, mentioned that Toyota and Denso stuff on newer vehicles can be tricky, but it seems like the right tool is all that is needed. I used the Autel TS508 TPMS tool.
