Eighth generation Accord models were the first to carry a valve mounted direct TPMS on every trim, and those sensors are now well past their design life. This OE replacement is built for the 315MHz system used on 2008-2012 Accord saloons and coupes, and it is supplied pre-programmed, so a fitter fits it, inflates to the placard pressure and completes a standard OBD relearn. The aluminium free construction uses a rubber snap-in stem with a nickel plated core, sealed electronics rated IP67, and a soldered CR2450 cell quoted at 5-7 years. Each batch is pressure cycled, leak tested and checked on a bench reader against the Honda protocol, which is the difference between a sensor that registers on the first drive cycle and one that comes back as a comeback job.

Q: How do I know it is the sensor and not the receiver?
A: Read the fault codes with an OBD TPMS tool. If three positions report and one is missing, or the pressures read but one ID is stale, the sensor is the fault. A receiver failure is much rarer and would normally take out all four readings at once.
Q: Can I replace just the one dead sensor?
A: Yes, and on a low mileage car that is the sensible choice. On a high mileage car the remaining cells are the same age, so many workshops quote all four and save the customer a second visit.
Q: Does this fit the V6 Accord as well as the four cylinder?
A: Yes. Both engines use the same wheel mounted sensor on 2008-2012 cars. The trim level does not change the part, but the model year does, because 2013 and later Accords use a different system.
Q: What is the lead time for a bulk order?
A: MOQ is 50 pieces, stock ships in 5-7 working days, and bulk production with OEM marking takes 20-25 days. Packaging can be blister sets of four for workshop resale.
An Accord with 150,000 miles on it is still a good car, and nobody wants to scrap one because a five dollar cell inside a wheel has gone flat. A pre-programmed 315MHz OE TPMS sensor keeps that car on the road for another tyre cycle and keeps the workshop out of a dealer queue. Send us your quantity and year mix, and we will confirm stock, packaging and a shipping date the same working day.
