Product Details

The Bosch TPMS Sensor line is built for vehicles that rely on in-wheel pressure monitoring to report tire inflation status to the dashboard warning system. This QF0470 sensor is a clamp-in design with an 82.55 mm valve length, making it a practical service part for many OE-style TPMS replacements. If you are replacing a failed sensor during tire service, wheel repair, or seasonal tire changes, this sensor provides the core hardware needed for a proper TPMS repair.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a failed TPMS sensor that triggers a tire pressure warning light
• Restoring tire pressure readings after sensor battery or internal component failure
• Servicing wheels after tire replacement, rotation, or repair
• Addressing inaccurate or missing tire pressure data on the instrument cluster
• Maintaining TPMS function on vehicles such as the Acura MDX, BMW 330i, and Ford F-150

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, and model against the fitment list before installation. Because this is a clamp-in TPMS sensor, confirm wheel compatibility, valve stem style, and sensor programming requirements for the specific vehicle. After installation, the TPMS system may require relearn, initialization, or scan-tool programming depending on the application.

For best results, inspect the wheel seal area and replace any worn sealing surfaces during service. The included gasket or seal and mounting hardware support a complete sensor installation when the wheel is prepared correctly.

Quality Assurance

Bosch manufactures this TPMS sensor as a service replacement part for direct-fit applications across a broad range of modern vehicles. Part number QF0470 is listed for extensive fitment coverage from 2021 through 2026 model years, including many Acura, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Volvo applications.
