If you're using the same tpms sensors in the same location I believe you'll be ok. If they're new ones you'll need to have them programmed to the car. A local tire shop can do this for you or you can buy the tool and do it yourself. Maybe someone else with a little more experience here than me can add a little more detail. I know that the sensors are different for some years.

If your using same sensors then, just make sure they go back on the same location as where they came off. If they are new sensors, yes they will need programing.

Where are you located???

I looked in your profile, but there's nothing there but a reference to the UK.

If you are in the UK, is your car a Euro spec car, or did you import a car built for the North American market?

The reason I ask is because the Euro spec cars have a different TPMS and use a different tire pressure sensor from the US spec cars.

As mentioned, if you're using your current sensors, just mount them so they go back on the same corner of the car they were originally mounted on and nothing will need to be done.

If you're getting a new set of sensors, you'll need to make sure you get the correct tire pressure sensors for the TPMS in your car, and they will have to be programmed in.
