Detailed Product Description

Schrader Valves 33980 is a TPMS programmable sensor for vehicles that require direct tire pressure monitoring and a silver-stem clamp-in design. It is not programmed out of the box, so it must be configured for the vehicle application during service. The sensor is built to transmit live tire pressure data, helping restore proper TPMS operation after sensor failure, wheel service, or seasonal tire changes.

This part number is listed across a broad range of fitments, including Acura MDX, Audi Q7, BMW X5, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Lexus RX350, Mercedes-Benz GLE450, Nissan Rogue, Toyota Tacoma, and Volkswagen Atlas. Part number 33980 is a practical choice when servicing vehicles that require a programmable direct TPMS sensor with a silver valve stem.

This part cross-references select TPMS sensor applications from other brands for the same vehicle coverage.

What It Helps Solve

• TPMS warning light caused by a failed tire pressure sensor
• Loss of tire pressure data after wheel or tire replacement
• Sensor replacement needs during tire rotation or seasonal wheel swaps
• Direct TPMS communication issues on supported vehicles
• Service needs for silver-stem clamp-in TPMS applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Program the sensor to the vehicle before final TPMS relearn procedures.
• Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and wheel application before installation.
• Use proper TPMS service tools and follow relearn steps required by the vehicle.
• Confirm clamp-in valve orientation and torque specifications during wheel service.
• Check that the replacement sensor matches the silver-stem requirement for the application.

Quality Assurance

Schrader Valves backs this TPMS sensor with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Built for direct monitoring and programmable service use, the 33980 is intended for late-model OE-style TPMS replacement across a wide range of supported vehicles.
