No matter what our competitors may claim, ACDelco is the only original equipment brand
for GM cars and trucks. So if you're looking for a tire pressure monitor sensor to service
a GM vehicle than look no further than ACDelco. In fact, we offer nearly 20 part numbers that
cover 100% of GM vehicles equipped with tire pressure monitor systems dating back to 1996.
Since 2008, the National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration has mandated that all
new cars and trucks must be equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system.
This system has a battery powered sensor located in the tire that monitors the tire's pressure
and sends a radio frequency signal to the vehicle computer system. This system in turn
alerts the driver when tire pressure falls more than 25% below the manufactures recommendations.
When it comes to tire pressure monitor sensors, there are some important things to keep in
mind when you compare our ACDelco GM OE part to that of our competitors. First, our GM
OE sensors are engineered with the vehicle's tire and control module system. This means
that the sensors are designed to communicate with the computer system for each specific
make and model vehicle. Many of the aftermarket universal sensors may require a special calibration
to communicate with the vehicle, and even then they might not be able to communicate
correctly with the vehicle. Many aftermarket brands might even use different radio frequencies
and have problems performing at original equipment levels.
ACDelco's original GM OE sensors feature corrosion resistant valve stems made of either aluminum
or rubber with a brass body and both contain nickel plated valve core. Also remember that
many aftermarket competitors consolidate to create universal sensors and that too much
consolidation often leads to incorrectly functioning sensors.
Finally, GM OE sensors have 3 volt lithium batteries that are of the highest quality
and last up to 10 years, and we back these parts with a 12 month/12,000 mile limited
warranty. As you can see, ACDelco is committed to providing
you the highest quality tire pressure monitor sensors to keep you and your vehicle on the
road.
