RDKS Sensor – Programmable tyre pressure sensor for numerous vehicle models

The programmable TPMS sensor is used for reliable tyre pressure monitoring and is suitable as a replacement for a defective or non-functional original sensor. The sensor can be programmed to match the respective vehicle or cloned with the data from the existing sensor.

Through vehicle-specific programming, the sensor is recognised by the vehicle's tyre pressure monitoring system. It is particularly suitable for use in summer tyres, winter tyres, spare wheels and additional wheel sets.

Product features

• Programmable TPMS tyre pressure sensor
• Suitable as a replacement for numerous original sensors
• Programming to suit the vehicle is possible
• Cloning of the existing sensor ID possible
• Suitable for summer and winter wheels
• Reliable transmission of tyre pressure data
• High-quality and durable finish
• Available for many vehicle makes and models
• Suitable for aluminium and steel wheels, depending on the wheel design
• Delivery includes valve, if specified in the selected version

Vehicle compatibility

The compatibility of the TPMS sensor is dependent on:

• Car manufacturer
• Vehicle model
• Year of construction
• sensor frequency used
• Original Part Number
• Rim and valve finish
• fitted with a tyre pressure monitoring system

Please provide us with the following details to ensure clear vehicle identification:

• Manufacturer and Model
• Year of manufacture or first registration
• Vehicle Identification Number
• HSN and TSN
• Existing original part number, if known
• Number of sensors required

Programming and training

The sensor can be programmed to match the vehicle before shipping. Depending on the vehicle, commissioning will then take place automatically during driving or via a vehicle-specific learning process.

For some vehicles, a suitable diagnostic or TPMS programming device is required for learning. The exact procedure depends on the vehicle manufacturer, model, and year of manufacture.

If the sensor ID of an existing sensor is completely adopted, many vehicles will not require re-learning. However, this may vary depending on the vehicle and control unit.

Important notice regarding your order

Before ordering, please check if the offered sensor is suitable for your vehicle. A match of the vehicle model and year of manufacture alone is not always sufficient for a definitive identification.

If you are unsure, please send us your vehicle details or the original part number of the existing sensor before purchasing. We will check compatibility and, if requested, program the sensor to match your vehicle.

Scope of delivery

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a programmable TPMS sensor?

A programmable TPMS sensor is an electronic tyre pressure sensor that can be programmed with vehicle-specific data from an original or replacement sensor. It transmits the measured tyre pressure to the vehicle's control unit.

Can the TPMS sensor be programmed for my vehicle?

The sensor can be programmed for numerous vehicle makes and models. For testing, the vehicle model, year of manufacture, HSN/TSN, Vehicle Identification Number, or the original part number are required.

Do new TPMS sensors need to be programmed?

This depends on the vehicle. Some vehicles automatically recognise the sensor during a learning drive. Others require a manual learning process or a diagnostic device. When a sensor ID is cloned, re-learning is often not necessary.

Can I use the sensor for winter tyres?

Yes. Programmable TPMS sensors are suitable for winter wheels, summer wheels and additional wheel sets, provided that the sensor, valve and rim are compatible with each other.

How long does a TPMS sensor battery last?

The lifespan depends on usage, mileage, temperature and sensor quality. The battery is normally permanently installed in the sensor and usually cannot be replaced individually.

Wer darf einen RDKS-Sensor montieren?

Assembly should be carried out by a tyre specialist or a suitably qualified workshop. The prescribed torques and assembly instructions must be observed.
