tire pressure monitoing rim sensor info required

**GAGT+GP-OWNER** · 09-06-2008

i have seen ebay sellers selling used tire pressure monitoring sensors but there 2 different types of part numbers they always show do not match the actual GM part number in anyway.

example sellers numbers are also for a 2007 GP >LKQ SKU: tmo - LKQ560
Tire Pressure Sensors FCC Number : kr5s120123007
Tire Pressure Sensors Part Number : m173ep2

but GM's number is 15921013

so i do not know 100% foresure if these ones being sold are the exact same match.

i guess for my 2007 GP , i need them for when i buy my winter steel rims. i think i was told either it was easier then switching my sensors from my summer aluminium rims to the steel rims and or it could nor be done ??

I thought it used the ABS speed sensors to tell if pressure was correct(differences from wheel to wheel)

I don't know for sure on the GPs, but perhaps the 04+ use pressure sensors. Our 06+ Impalas (which are quite similar to the 04+ GPs in most ways) use actual pressure sensors in the rims.

another seller has these numbers listed for sensors from a 2007 GP, again they do not match the actual GM part number i was given.

Tire Pressure Sensors FCC Number : kr5s123007
Tire Pressure Sensors Part Number : pa66gf30

only thing i notice is that the numbers from seller in the starting post was sensors from a 4 door the other group of numbers in the posted here were from a 2 door.

use tirerack.com for wheels, they know about the TPMS

myself I gave up trying to have the TPMS installed in the rims for my winter tires and will just live with hitting a button on the DIC each time I start the car

**GAGT+GP-OWNER** · 09-08-2008

what do you mean you gave up on the tpms install on your winter rims .

**tod1d** · 09-08-2008

I took the rims to kal tire and a GM dearlership, neither could install the sensors, the rims were off of a 2005 boniville

GM or the dealership should of included a extra set of the sensors with the car as the tires it came with are NOT GOOD in the winter

**GAGT+GP-OWNER** · 09-09-2008

you would think gm would know how to install them. they want me to buy new ones from them for my winter rims. maybe you sensors were not 100% the exact ones . as shown there seems to be different number ones , although they all look the same .how did you come by your sensors ?

**tod1d** · 01-16-2009

I didn't have sensors for the boniville rims, the GM dealership tried to install what they use but couldn't

now I have a different problem
I have a new set of winter Michelin X-Ice Xi2 225/60R16 98T with 16" black steel rims and TPMS
the TPMS does not seem to be working, what does it take to activate it?
