OE-Style TPMS Sensor for Chrysler and Dodge

The Standard Ignition TPM16A is a pre-programmed tire pressure monitoring system sensor built for direct OE-style service on select Chrysler and Dodge vehicles. It arrives with the correct 315 MHz protocol and is ready for installation and OE relearn procedures on 2004-2005 Chrysler Pacifica, Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, and Dodge Grand Caravan applications.

Key Features

• Pre-programmed at the factory with the exact OE protocol
• 315 MHz frequency for supported Chrysler and Dodge TPMS systems
• Clamp-in, bolt-on wheel mounting design with aluminum valve application notes
• Sensor nut torque specification: 71 in/lbs
• Military-grade lithium battery for long service life
• Low-frequency output wakeup timer and periodic reset for shelf-life and battery management
• Z-axis or dual XY-axis accelerometer design for more precise tire position and rotation sensing
• External-crystal oscillator for stable frequency control and reliable communication
• Validated through extensive environmental and durability testing

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition TPM16A is engineered to meet or exceed OE performance requirements and is manufactured in compliance with SAE2657 specifications. It is designed for wheel-mounted TPMS service where accurate pressure reporting and dependable communication with the vehicle receiver are required. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 974-028 for the same application.

Compatible With 2004-2005 Chrysler Pacifica, 2004-2005 Chrysler Town & Country, 2004-2005 Dodge Caravan, and 2004-2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, this TPMS sensor supports OE-style relearn procedures after installation. The TPM16A part number is also commonly searched as Standard Ignition TPM16A for Chrysler Pacifica TPMS sensor and Dodge Grand Caravan TPMS sensor replacement.

What It Helps Address

• TPMS warning light caused by a failed wheel sensor
• Inaccurate tire pressure readings from an aging sensor
• Loss of sensor communication after battery depletion
• Service needs on 315 MHz Chrysler and Dodge TPMS systems
• Replacement of a damaged clamp-in wheel sensor during tire service

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the wheel and follow the OEM factory relearn procedure after mounting. Verify the vehicle uses a 315 MHz TPMS system before ordering. The sensor nut torque specification is 71 in/lbs, and the application notes call for an OE-style aluminum valve setup on the listed Chrysler and Dodge models. TPM16A is a direct-fit service part for the confirmed applications, but vehicle relearn steps must still be completed for proper operation.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition states that this sensor is tested for temperature extremes, thermal shock, humidity, frost, proof pressure, rapid deflation, contamination, salt fog, drop, centrifugal force, vehicle speed, and mechanical vibration. It was also validated in an independent 168-hour on-vehicle live test to confirm durability and performance consistency.
