TPMS Interchangeable???
From the title you can see that I'm asking if the TPMS stem valve sensors are interchangeable. Any one will "real" knowledge ? I've come across auctions on eBay and listings online from Acura Dealers claiming that part# 06421-S3V-A03 is for the 06-07 RL, 06-07 TL, and 05-06 MDX. Part #42753-STK-A02 is for 07 RDX, MDX, and TSX. Part #06421-S3V-A01 is supposed to be for 04-06 MDX. Part # 06453-S3V-A04 is for a Honda Pilot. Part # 06421-S3V-A02 is supposed to be for the 2006 TL. As you can see from all that I have listed that some if not all should work interchangeable. Right??????????????????????!!!!

The updated "current PN for the 06 TL is: 06421-S3V-A04.
This will only add to the confusion, but I have confirmed the 2005 RL sensors will work on my wife's Honda Odyssey, which species the exact same PN as the TL... Thus the RL and TLs sensors appear to be intercangeable.
I recently purchased a used set of 07 Type S sensors. Upon inspection, they are IDENTICAL to the the 2006 sensors.
I think much of the "compatibility" is dictated not by the electronics, but rather the valve stem shank.
Every sensors I've seen seem to operate at 315khz which is the critical part.
Kinda neat thing is, these sensors are made by TRW automotive. I work for TRW Government solutions before we we're bought by Northrop Grumman in 2003. Where's my employee discount?

I talked to an Acura Parts Rep today and he said that the TL and MDX use the same TPMS stem valve. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to confirm this and hopefully shed some light on this topic as to save us all a headache.

The MDX TPMS stem valves work with the TL's TPMS
Part# 06421-S3V-A04, which is the newest part number for the Acura TL, did not fit into my Tork wheels as advertised. I paid $155 for the new set and was heartbroken when the technician came back to me after waiting for 2 hrs at Sears to tell me that we have a problem with the stem valves not fitting. Luckily, I brought along the TPMS valves that I bought off eBay from a 2007 MDX. The technician gave me thumbs up and I was happy that at least they fit the mounting shank. I was just worried that they would not transmit to the TPMS receivers. So today I installed one of the wheels on the car and drove around the block. And "YES", part#42753-STK-A02 which I got from eBay is working fine with my TPMS. My car picks up the transmission without any errors. The MDX stem valve has a slight difference in dimensions. So if you buy wheels and the TL valves doesn’t work then try the MDX valves.

Once that TPMS part number was installed, it was not secured when torqued to specs. It was loose and free spinning. It's best to buy a tpms valve and try it on the wheel before buying it. And don't believe what the manufacture/salesman is telling you unless it was tested to fit that particular ACURA stem valve.

WOW all this SHIT with TPMS is driving me NUTS.
STRAPS KNOWBODY has heard about, drilling holes in $700 wheels, they fit, no they don't fit.
WHAT NEXT? Do TPMS sensors work on 19" Axis Hiro's ?
Sorry to ask. BUT ?

Was it a new sensor? NEW sensors have a lock ring that's attached to the inside of the mounting nut. When you tighten it to spec, the lock ring "breaks off". If you disassemble a used sensor you'll see this disc bouncing around inside the mounting nut... that's what breaks off. If you don't tighten it enough to break that lock ring off, you'll think you tightened the sensor all the way up, when you tightened it up against the lock ring only... leaving the sensor loosely installed as you describe.
Since the MDX sensors were used, that lock ring was allready sheared off, which is why the "tech" had no problem installing them. You MUST break that lock ring loose first.
My NEW sensors did the exact same thing back when I installed them on my privat netz. I tought the exact same thing... live and learn.
JD,
No idea about the Hiro's. I'm very sure if it's a case wheel, they're gonna fit. Get used to the TPMS PITA... the government has mandated ALL cars come with TPMS by 2009.

What prevents a sensor from NOT fitting?
This TPMS crap IS a PITA! Ya can't even just buy wheels that you like.
There always has to be a question. I don't want to buy new wheels and not have the TPMS system work.

The lock ring breaking off is a good thing. The lock ring prevents you from tightening up the nut all the way, leaving the sensor flopping around in the valve hole. Once the lock ring breaks off, it allows you to fully tighten up the sensor, making a solid seal.
If your transferring your old sensors, or buying used ones, don't worry about this. This is only an issue if you buy brand new sensors.
I'm very confident that as long as there is a valve hole on the outer face of your rim, your TPMS sesnor will fit. I carried a sensor up to a wheel store a few months ago, and the sensor fit in every wheel in the window.

Thanks for the good info!
I think i'll try to find a set of new TPMS sensors after i find some rims i like.

I think i'll try to find a set of new TPMS sensors after i find some rims i like.Just ran into this issue....the tech from the tire shop called to tell me that even though my new A04 sensors looked identical to the sensors on my OEM TL-S wheels, they don't seat properly in the wheel. I just sent him the link to this thread and he's gonna try tightening it and "breaking off" the lock ring.
I'm a little apprehensive, but if that's the way to do it, then that's what I'll do. Worst case, I'll reuse the TL-S wheel sensors and worry about the new ones when I get winter tires mounted later this year.
Thanks for the info! Gotta love "Search"!
