Extra TPMS Sensors for Winter Wheels

[SK1]

I'll be receiving my Stinger in the next week or two. I ordered an extra set of TPMS sensors for my aftermarket winter wheels last month and they arrived today from Korea.

Will I have to take the car to the dealer every time I swap wheels so they can reprogram the car to relearn the sensors or can the vehicle store two sets of TPMS codes?

I hope its the latter because this is going to be a major pain that will add up over the years. Anyone have any experience with the Stinger specifically?

Great question! Anyone?

TPMS sensors are small pressure transducers located within each wheel, transmitting live tire pressure readings. Each sensor has an identifying number (ID) that is programmed into the vehicle's controller, prohibiting another vehicle's sensor from being inadvertently monitored.

Traditionally, switching over to winter rims/tires involved the repetitious seasonal task of reprogramming alternate sensor IDs.


A way to work around this is to purchase aftermarket sensors that offer the ability to clone the factory sensor IDs, making the task of relearning new sensors unnecessary.

You may, however, have to go outside of your dealer to source these sensors.


According to the Transport Canada website, "The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is not a manufacturing requirement on new vehicles sold in Canada, or on imported vehicles. Furthermore, there is no federal regulation that prohibits disabling the TPMS system on vehicles"

All vehicle manufacturers will recommend that the system not be disabled, but operating your vehicle without sensors will not affect the vehicle negatively, nor should it cause any warranty issues.

Thanks for the info. Right now I can't seem to find aftermarket tpms sensors for the Stinger and doubt that I'll be able to clone the originals. I'll contact the Kia service department tomorrow to see if they can clone the OEM sensors I purchased for my winter set. I'll report back on my findings.

My other vehicle (2017 Honda Ridgeline) has the ability to store up to four sets of tpms sensors. My experience with this vehicle is that I purchased used aftermarket wheels and tires off of an Acura from Kijiji (tpms incompatible because apparently it emits a different signal) and had to get the dealer to install oem tpms that were compatible on them (between $100-$200 with labour). Of course before I made the purchase I had to check with the dealer what can be done if errors occurred as I initially thought the Acura sensors would be compatible with Honda's, and they said they can just install new oem sensors and I'm good to go. Lo and behold, I had errors in the dashboard. Took it to the dealer after waiting for the parts to be ordered, got new sensors installed and voila. Now I just swap the tires myself seasonally with no problems. I dont see why a modern vehicle like the Stinger wouldnt able to, especially in Canada where many people are used to swapping summers and winters. Check with your dealer YMMV

Thanks bluecatsup. I'm going to contact the dealer to find out how many sets of tpms sensors the Stinger can store. I'll let you all know what I find out.

Awesome community here!

Hm, what if I forgot which sensor was on which wheel when been switching from summer to winter? Does the order matter?

According to Kia Service, the Stinger ECM will re-learn the OEM sensors on its own every time you swap wheels - No dealer intervention required. I'll find out if this is fact or fiction once I throw my snows on this Saturday. I'm picking up the car this Friday!!

@SK1 did this end up working out? I’m looking to pick up sensors for my winters and looking for info. The dealer is pretty clueless when it comes to these cars.

Yes, everything worked out. Buy the OEM sensors and install them in your second set of wheels. The Stinger will learn them immediately on ignition. No dealer or aftermarket intervention required. Worked fine switching back to the original wheels as well.

This is very helpful! Thank you for the information!

Anyone else test this out?

 

[NS_Stinger]

I can confirm that I ordered an aftermarket winter wheel/tire package from pmctire.ca in 2018 and had them install aftermarket TPMS sensors and my car learned them with no dealer intervention for the past 2 winters when I've installed them myself so yes the ECM does all the work for you.

I bought my winter wheels/tires at Discount Tire and when I brought my car in for the summer swap we talked about adding another set of sensors because it would be stupid to always swap them around. I paid $120 and they've worked perfectly.

Thanks!!

Yes, that's the right number. There's a sticky for that.

Hello folks!
Has anyone come across a similar issue? I've bought another set of OEM wheels for winter with aftermarket sensors (recommended by the local community), however, when I put the new wheels, I didn't get any reading from any sensors and after,like, roughly 8 miles I got a TPMS light.
Is there any chance to reset the settings or something?
Thank you in advance!

PS: the light reads " Check the TPMS"

You need to drive a bit longer before it figures it out. Around 50ish miles sometimes

Not if the TPMS malfunction light has come on.
