What is a tire pressure sensor?
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a system that monitors tire air pressure and alerts the driver when an abnormality is detected.
In many developed countries such as Europe and the United States, the installation of seat belts is mandated by law. In Japan, an increasing number of vehicles sold domestically now come equipped with seat belts as standard equipment when new.
TPMS helps prevent various problems and disadvantages caused by low tire pressure before they occur.
Problems and disadvantages caused by low air pressure
- Increased rolling resistance leads to reduced fuel efficiency.
- Increased load on the sidewall leads to tire degradation and potential bursting.
- Induction of uneven wear Deterioration of handling characteristics etc...
The air pressure sensor is installed as an integrated component with the wheel's air valve.
Each sensor installed as original equipment by automobile manufacturers has a unique ID assigned to it.
Our shop can provide new tire pressure sensors that function identically to genuine parts by duplicating existing IDs or registering new ones using specialized sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Will it pass the vehicle inspection?
Yes.
This tire pressure sensor poses no issues whatsoever for vehicle inspections.
Q. What is the difference between this and the genuine OEM air pressure sensor?
For genuine parts, the sensor ID is assigned a unique identifier from the outset.
You cannot change that ID later.
When installing a new genuine air pressure sensor, it is necessary to modify the vehicle's settings and have it memorize the new ID.
Our tire pressure sensors allow for ID modification after installation, enabling compatibility with various vehicle models.
Therefore, you can duplicate sensors with the same ID or issue new IDs.
If it's a duplicate of the same ID, there's no need to change the settings on the vehicle side.
Q. Do you carry OEM tire pressure sensors from automobile manufacturers?
Here you are.
We can also provide genuine air pressure sensors for Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, and other brands.
Please feel free to contact us.
Q. Is there any legal issue?
Yes. This product does not violate any laws, including the Radio Law.
Q. Is there anything I should be careful about?
・Some wheels may have shapes or materials that block radio waves from the sensor.
Please take special care with reverse wheels where the valve opening faces inward.
・If you duplicate a sensor ID, you cannot have two or more devices with the same ID active at the same time.
・Depending on the shape of the wheel or valve hole, installation may not be possible.
Q. How long do the sensor batteries last?
On average, it can be used continuously for 5 to 7 years.
The maximum mileage is approximately 160,000 km.
The battery for the air pressure sensor lasts exceptionally long.

Please let us know your vehicle model.
The following information listed on the vehicle registration certificate is more reliable.
・First-year registration
・Model
・Vehicle identification number
Q. Can it be installed on vehicles that did not originally come equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system?
