You'll need a 315 mHz frequency TPMS sensor. Rockauto has some options. Schrader mades the OE part. Denso is a good option, but a little pricey, but not as pricey as genuine Nissan. Best bang for the buck is probably Standard Motor Parts/Intermotor, which carry a 3-year warranty. Dorman sensors are okay and carry a limited lifetime warranty, but I usually don't see more than 4 years out of them, at best. Make sure they are direct-fit sensors, as they sell universal sensors, as well, that require a tool to program them before installation...and I'm not talking about the ID registration process which initializes the sensor to the vehicle.ALO604 wrote:I have a new set of wheels and would like to put new TPMS. There are so many available on amazon and other online sites. Is it required to use an OEM sensor? Should I be looking for a specific type or frequency??
If one or more new TPMS sensors are replaced, they will all have to be ID registered to the TPMS control unit, which is built into the BCM. Sensors come two ways: ready to program or in "sleep mode." If the sensor you choose needs to woke-up out of sleep mode, a TPMS trigger tool is needed to do that. While not needed for the ID register process, the trigger tool does make it a lot easier and quicker and it's not expensive:ALO604 wrote:2010 Pathfinder. Will replacement sensors register themselves to the ECM once activated? Or is a programming tool required to the numbers into the ECM?
