Kia Stinger TPMS Valve

[Oglar100]

I bought a used set of wheels from a Stinger Base and I have a GT. The tire shop I had put them on said the sensor model is different than the GT, everywhere I look seems like they are full of it. I'm kind of lost of what I should do next, I have driving more than the 3km miles suggested above... is it time I just reach out to another tire place and see if they can relearn them or just replace the sensors

Looks like they are full of it. The oem sensors cannot be reprogrammed. The sensors have the same Kia part number for any Stinger model so they should work on rims you purchased. I have a set that I can sell you since I sold my stinger but I’m in Canada. Might be a logistical issue sending them to you.

The ones I ordered showed up a couple of days ago, in a Hyundai box. Went to the Kia dealer and the service manager said not to worry as a fair bit of the parts he orders comes the same way.

Good to know as this is how mine arrived as well

Hello,
In the last few months my 2018 Stinger would take longer and longer to read the tire pressures for all 4 tires but eventually would come on and display them accurately, but it would take longer and longer distance traveled. Now the other day the car has the flashing yellow TPMS warning light then stays solid saying to "Check Tire Pressure Monitoring System'. Does his mean that one of the sensors failed to report pressure and now the system will not display any of the tires pressures? Is it possible to replace just the faulty TPMS on whatever rim and how do they find out which one? I just hope it's nothing more serious. Also, how long do these sensors normally last?
Thank you!

Should be no reason why you can't change the faulty one.

@OriginalRobby I recently replaced one TPMS sensor: like you've experienced, the entire system goes offline when one sensor fails. Stupid, but there it is.

Other than an annoying light, are there any driveability issues as a result of disabled tpms sensor?

I used to run my winter wheels without tpms sensors in the G. Other than a dim amber light, traction control and other safety systems were unaffected.

No, just the annoying light. Everything else works normally.

How is it determined which one was faulty?

I don't know exactly: probably they test the sending capacity and find the dead one that's not sending.

There are tools available which can energize and read a sensor while the wheel is not in motion. If sensor doesn't respond, it's likely failed.

 

[OriginalRobby]

Ok thanks, so to be clear, they should be able to replace just the one faulty one, if they try to sell me on a set I decline?

Good question. You've got a (nearly) 5 yr old car. They say typical battery life is 5-10. In terms of warranty, I believe this part falls under the 3 or 5 yr coverage? So see if it's a warranty covered item first.

Personally, if mine go out at the 5 yr mark, i'll just leave 'em be. Maybe replace all 4 next time I do tires, maybe not. I check my tires often enough any way. I just don't consider tpms to be *that* important.

If you do decide to replace 'em, might be cheaper to go with aftermarket.

Maybe Kia's are part of the bumper to bumper. But an aftermarket TPMS is nowhere near that. One of mine in my TSW wheel failed after two and a half years and I had to buy a new one. I recall that the warranty on that TPMS sensor was one year.

^^I made the assumption the OP was still using the original tpms that came with the car. Afterall I wouldn't expect it to fail so soon being a 2018 MY car. My G37 was delivered (special order) 12/2011. When I sold it 7/2019, all 4 wheels still had the original working tpms sensors.

 

[MerlintheMad]

^^^Yes, my wheel guy said that their TPMS sensors usually last at least five or six years. Mine was the only one, so far in years, to fail so early. (I didn't entertain him with my usual story about "my juju is stronger than your juju", which is all about electronic things: I have a looong history of battling electronics with an ample amount of premature failures for no known cause. I was very trepidatious about getting a car this complex, but so far, NAV has been kind to me.)

Anyone know if the part number originally posted (52933 J5000) will work for the 2022 models? I don’t see why not. The original eBay link is no longer working and so far I have found OEM sensors for $40 a pop. I’m trying to piece together my winter wheel setup for next year and want to start compiling parts. Thanks
