Default Tpms

Hi there,
I have a bad TPMS sensor. Has anyone purchased some other brands than GM. The GM sensors are 4 times more than most of the others on Rock auto. I only have one that works intermittently, but I want to do all four. I would like to know what some here have done to solve the buy GM or the other ones question. Thanks!

Mike F.

I purchased some on ebay and got lucky they all worked. Ordered the tpms tool on there for like $5 as well. Make sure to test the tpms by placing by the wheel and programming before installing so you know they work.

OEM GM TPMS sensors are manufactured by Schrader. Look for them. Likely cheaper. Think they offer exact match and a universal design.

Edit: Damn....beaten by one minute.

I just used these on my '13 GS with no issues either. These ones that come pre-programmed are really easy to use, just need to do the re-learn procedure so the car knows their location.

I really don't know why there are so many models of essentially the same thing. I do know there was a change somewhere in the C6 lifespan so make sure you get ones appropriate for your year.

I had a bad TPMS ordered an aftermarket unit and it lasted about 3 weeks. So now I have ordered 4 new GM Sensors from GM Parts Depot. Part #20925924 at a cost of $106.72 CDN ea which is about $75 US. They work perfectly on my 2011 GS
