LAUNCH RF-Sensor 315 and 433 MHz Programmable TPMS Sensor

LAUNCH RF-Sensor 315 and 433 MHz TPMS Sensor: a programmable tire pressure sensor to replace the original

The LAUNCH RF-Sensor TPMS sensor replaces a defective, dead-battery, or broken tire pressure sensor. This programmable TPMS sensor works on both market frequencies, 315 MHz and 433 MHz: only one model to stock instead of one reference per manufacturer. It is sold in packs of 4 or 8, enough to equip a complete car or two sets of wheels, summer and winter.

Why choose this programmable tire pressure sensor

• Dual 315 and 433 MHz frequency: the same part covers European, Asian, and American vehicles, depending on programming.
• Programming or cloning: the sensor receives either a new protocol or the ID of your old sensor, which in many cases avoids the relearning procedure.
• Reported coverage of 98% of vehicles equipped with a direct TPMS, according to LAUNCH.
• Reported battery life of 5 years for normal use.
• Metal valve supplied with nut, seal, washer, and cap.

How a universal TPMS sensor works

A TPMS sensor is fixed to the valve, inside the rim. It measures the tire pressure and temperature and transmits them via radio to the computer, which turns on the tire pressure warning light in case of underinflation. A universal sensor like the RF-Sensor comes blank: it must be programmed with a compatible LAUNCH X431 TPMS tool before being mounted. This step gives it your manufacturer's protocol.

Important restriction: the programming tool is not included. Without a compatible LAUNCH TPMS tool, the sensor cannot be configured. If you do not have one, have the programming done by an equipped tire shop.

Mounting TPMS sensors on the rim

The tire must be demounted to access the valve. Remove the old sensor, mount the new one with its valve respecting the indicated tightening torque, remount and balance the wheel. Depending on the vehicle, a TPMS relearning by the car or by the tool is then necessary; with the cloning function, it is often avoided. This work falls under the tire fitter: in case of doubt, entrust it to a professional.

Is the TPMS sensor mandatory for the technical inspection?

On passenger cars put into circulation since November 2014 in the European Union, the tire pressure monitoring system is mandatory. A TPMS light can therefore be flagged at the technical inspection. Replacing the faulty sensor is the long-term solution to turn off the light.

Frequently asked questions about the LAUNCH programmable TPMS sensor

How to program a TPMS sensor?
With a compatible LAUNCH TPMS tool: select the vehicle, then create a new ID or copy the one from the old sensor.

When to change a TPMS sensor?
When its battery is dead, when it is damaged, or when the light indicates a sensor fault despite good pressure.

Is this sensor suitable for my car?
It covers most direct TPMS vehicles in 315 or 433 MHz. Check the compatibility of your model in the programming tool before ordering.

Do you need four sensors?
You need one per equipped wheel. The pack of 8 is practical for equipping a second set of rims.
