Dorman 974-037 TPMS Sensor for Acura/Honda Models: Efficient Tire Pressure Monitoring System Solution Review

This is an OEM replacement for sensors on a set of PAX tires that we didn't want to cut to remove from the original rims. They appear to be the same size and installed well. However, the OEM system still does not recognize the sensors - they have been programmed or configured according to the instructions, but still do not work. The online instructions are clear enough, but they don't provide any troubleshooting information. We'll see how it goes.

I bought 4 of these for my Acura MDX because my TMPS light came on and stayed on. Brought her to Mr. Tires twice to replace. They replaced them but couldn't get them to work except for one. I paid $100 the first time, the second time it was a courtesy. Failed again. Then I took her to the Chevy Chase Acura. They charged a $165 diagnostic fee and said that apart from the right rear wheel, none of the others worked through programming or learning to drive. They say Dorman is an approved parts…

I purchased and installed Dorman TPMS sensors (at Costco). In less than 4 months one of them failed. The installer used the TPMS diagnostic tool to determine if the battery was low.

Yes, there is an escalation process, but consider multiple shipping fees, multiple installation fees, and wasted days chasing an item that fails prematurely at the worst possible time. And I'm not done hunting yet. Should I now replace all Dorman sensors or just one…
