I'm sure it been asked before but I searched and couldn't find anything with part numbers, so what year TPMS sensors will fit my '09 ZR1? I have a set of 25920615 but can't find anything that says yes or no.

 

From gmpartshouse.com:

 

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know why the newer 315mhz sensors won't work? They both appear to be 315mhz, the only defining difference I can see is the metal stem vs. the rubber.

 

Virtually all sensors used in GM vehicles in the U.S. Transmit their data to the TPMS computer in the car on 315 MHz.

Here's a pic of the screen of my OTC 3833 TPMS tool after querying a 2005-2009 sensor:




And below is a pic of the tool's screen after checking a GS sensor (2011 I believe, but all GS Vettes are 2010 or newer so use the newer sensor):




You can see that there's a line of data with dashes for the earlier sensors - it's just not transmitted in the data stream.

For the GS with the newer sensor, you can see the temp displayed - and it and the pressure are up because the car just came off a track session at Sebring.

So....unless the data stream transmitted by a sensor is what the TPMS computer (actually a part of the RCDLR module) is programmed to understand, it will be a foreign language to the TPMS and totally disregarded.

BTW, stock GM sensors are made by Schrader, and the gray sensors in the first picture are the stock sensors for a 2005-2009 C6 (ANY model), GM part# 25758220.

Below are 2 different stock sensors for the 2010-2013 C6. Either one will work in any 2010-2013 C6, but the green one (GM part# 15268606) can be triggered to register it with the TPMS by changing air pressure in the tire, but the black one (GM part# 20925924) can only be triggered by a TPMS tool:







Computers only do what they're programmed to do, and the TPMS will only recognize a sensor that transmits a data stream that it understands.

Maybe someone can shed some light on a TPMS question for me.

I'm considering buying a set of cup wheels for my 06z. The cup wheels are from a 2011 Z06. Will I have to buy and install a new set of tpms to have the system work on my car?

 

If you car is a 2006, then yes, you will need to change the TPMS sensors in the rims (could use the ones from your old rims).


The TPMS's in the rims are 15268606's for 2010 plus vets, and you need the TPMS's 25758220's for 2005 through 2009 vets.

 

Thank you for the reply. Would it be as easy as having he TPMS sensors removed for my current rims and just installed in the new rims? No need to reset them to the car since the rims are different sizes? Plug and play...

 

Yes, since they are already programmed to your wheels it would be that simple. As long as you keep the sensors on the same wheels.

However, if your sensors are original from 2006, you may consider replacing them as the batteries in them tend to die after 6+ years.

 

Is there a difference in the sensors if it is a Z06, as opposed to a C6. The dealership, using my VIN # came up with a part # of 20925924, which are black, but reading here, it looks like I should be using Green ? I have a 2013 Z06

 

Anyone ???

 

It makes no difference if it is for a ZR1, Z06, or base model.

The answer to your question is above.

Or you can use the Schrader 20158 which is red. They make the OEM part for GM anyways.

 

Bump because BEZ06 has a full PM box and needed this info.
