Review on VDO SE10001HP REDI Sensor 314 9 Sensor by John Clarey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

VDO REDI sensors are the best replacement for the TPMS sensor in your vehicle

I bought two sets of four VDO SE10001HP REDI sensors for a 2008 Mazda 5 minivan and a 2008 Nissan Altima sedan. One of the four original Schrader TPMS Altima sensors failed and the other two were replaced within 7-8 years. The Mazda 5's tires needed replacing, so it's time to replace the 8-year-old sensors. These sensors are the best you can buy for your car. VDO is a division of Continental and the German division has a long history of producing quality instruments and sensors for use in the automotive industry. The receiver module of the TPMS sensor installed in many vehicles today also comes from VDO. Given this, it is not surprising that only a few variants of their REDI sensor TPMS line can support all major vehicle makes and models. I like the SE10001HP because they use metal valve stems instead of the rubber stems they use on their SE10001HPR. To ensure the TPMS sensor is compatible with your vehicle, visit the VDO website for component compatibility search at [.] After installing the new sensors in my Mazda 5, the re-learning process is very easy. Using a TPMS scanner is not required. Make sure you drive your Mazda at speeds above 20 mph for 5 to 10 miles after replacing the sensor to allow the vehicle's TPMS receiver time to capture sensor identification information and pressure reading information. After a few miles of driving, the TPMS relearn indicator went out and the REDI sensors were connected to the Mazda. Replacing all TPMS sensors on any modern car should be just as easy. As with the Nissan Altima, the relearning process with these sensors requires either the use of an expensive TPMS scanner at the auto shop to force reset this vehicle's built-in VDO TPMS receiver, or to relearn the new sensors or receiver to relearn to force. You can put the VDO TPMS receiver into teach-in mode yourself. Search YouTube for videos on how to relearn or reset Nissan TPMS system. Prepare a paper clip, a pressure gauge and an air compressor. The forced relearn process was triggered after the car had driven several kilometers at speeds over 20 mph and the REDI sensors were connected to the car. Save money by purchasing these sensors from Revain and having them installed at your trusted auto repair shop the next time you change tires. change. If your vehicle requires it, you can reduce your installation costs by at least half what the dealer or major auto repair shop will charge you to replace and install faulty TPMS sensors.
