Can a second set of sensors be fitted to another set of wheels?

 

If so do you need to use specific sensors and how do you connect them to the TPMS system?

 

Or how do you disable the TPMS system if you don’t have sensors fitted?

 

Thanks!

Another set of sensors can indeed be fitted to a different set of wheels if needed - OEM isn't too cheap though.

If the wheels don't have these connected then the car turns off monitoring by default. Not too sure if the backup rotation monitoring takes over instead.

I doubt your car has wheel sensors? Isn't it the indirect system which uses the ABS sensors? I thought only very recent cars used anything else.

No, because your car has indirect TPMS which uses the ABS sensors, so the set that are on it don't have direct sensors, and a second set of wheels won't use direct sensors even if they're fitted.

Thanks all. 
 

I swapped the wheels yesterday so do I just press the tyre set button? Have the wheel dash light on at the moment.

The difference between direct and indirect sensing is that the former will show each individual wheel’s tyre pressure.

 

As for the question above, if you have got the correct pressures then press the set button until it beeps.

I did that and the light went off. RTFM I guess!

Both Peugeot and Renault were using active sensors twenty years ago.

Peugeot 807's and 407's, Renault Laguna with the four different coloured bands round the valve caps.

Some BMW's with the run flat tyres used them as well.

Useless info really.

 

Thanks, AG Falco

I meant Skodas, and should have been specific.
