This OE TPMS sensor is a direct replacement for the 315MHz tyre pressure monitoring system on Honda CR-V third and fourth generation crossovers. It is pre-programmed for the CR-V application, so the workshop mounts the sensor, inflates the tyre to the placard pressure and runs a standard OBD relearn instead of bench-programming a blank unit. The body is IP67 sealed and fitted to a rubber snap-in valve stem, the same style the vehicle carries from the factory, and the RF stage is verified on a bench reader against the Honda protocol before packing. That matters on a ten year old crossover, because the reason the dashboard tyre pressure indicator stays on is almost always a flat battery in one of the four wheel sensors rather than a fault in the receiver.

Q: My CR-V tyre pressure indicator stays on after inflating the tyres. Is the sensor the cause?
A: In most cases yes. On a 2007-2016 CR-V the sensors carry a non-replaceable cell with a 5-7 year life, so a car that age has usually lost one or two of them. Confirm with an OBD TPMS reader, replace the dead positions, then run the relearn and drive 5-10 minutes above 25km/h.
Q: Why does this sensor run at 315MHz rather than 433MHz?
A: North American Honda vehicles use the 315MHz band. A 433MHz unit looks identical from the outside but the receiver will never see it, so the frequency has to be matched to the market the car was built for.
Q: Will one sensor cover all four wheels?
A: Yes. The CR-V uses the same part in every wheel position, so four pieces cover the whole car and there is no front or rear specific variant to stock.
Q: Does this sensor fit a 2017 or newer CR-V?
A: No. From 2017 the CR-V moved to an indirect system that calculates pressure from wheel speed and has no sensor inside the tyre. This part is only for 2007-2016 vehicles with a valve mounted sensor.
CR-V sensors fail quietly: no warning until the light comes on, then a workshop has to explain why a tyre that holds pressure still triggers an alert. Keeping one pre-programmed 315MHz OE TPMS sensor in stock turns that conversation into a twenty minute job, and the rubber stem is renewed at the same time so the valve is not the next weak point.
