TPMS Replacements

[chazyouwin]

Hi, getting around to replacing the OEM sensors, as one busted with a flat tire. There are some choices here and I'd like to know if people have used them. First, OEM is Suzuki part number 43130-57l00. The original is made by Continental of Continental Tire fame. You can see a slightly raised "Continental" on one of the TPMS ridges. However, the OEM part is currently selling for over $300 per item. TPMSDirect is listing the item at $70 but hasn't responded to my request that they verify that its OEM.

Second, Amazon is selling "X AUTOHAUX 4313057L00 Car Tire Pressure TPMS Sensor 315MHz for Suzuki Kizashi 2010-2013" -- $20 each. I purchased five and its coming in three packages. I received the first, and it looks like this is a quality item with a body that seems to match the OEM sensor. The box has a sticker for the precise OEM Suzuki part number so it is clear this is being sold only to Kiz owners. Has anyone tried it? No reviews yet.

Third, Amazon is also selling "MORESENSOR Signature Series 315MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor 4-Pack | Preprogrammed for Select 100+ American/Japanese Brand Models | Replacement for 68078861AA | Clamp-in | NX-S044-4" $68. for four. Supposedly this is programmed for Kizashi. It also appears to be a nice item, as I'm inspecting it, and it looks like the body roughly matches. However, each TPMS comes in two parts. Also no reviews from Kizashi owners.

Suspect I'll be installing the X Autohoux but would be interested in knowing of others' experiences.

I hope Im wrong but Im guessing this item is the same as I bought from ebay with the suzuki part no. on it. After registering to the car it started flashing the indicator light basically for registration incomplete. The car could read the pressure and temp from all sensors but i think the copy sensors are missing a flag or marker that are in original Continental brand. Go into advanced search here on this forum, under , topics only , enter "cheap fix" it will be cheap fix 15 tpms.

So I received the final three and had the shop install the four "X AUTOHAUX 4313057L00 Car Tire Pressure TPMS Sensor 315MHz for Suzuki Kizashi 2010-2013." Before I brought them in I fired and read them using the ATEQ VT55 so that I knew they were good to go. Picked up the car, and for the first time ever, the TPMS from the shop was not showing any light. I did not have to trigger the sensors myself. Easy peazy. This one looks exactly like the OEM (shape, size, detail ridges, etc.) with the exception of the markings - but the markings are professional looking. Stickers on the box were printed and were identical to the OEM model number. So far so good. If this lasts for a week or two with a lot of driving I will give a good review on Amazon specific to Kizashi and that will let everyone know that this is a good solid alternative. Strange, I think this one must be made in China but it is obvious they took a lot of care in doing it. Good price at $20 per. Then I'll send the other ones "Moresensor" back.

And oldtech - these did not have the OEM model numbers printed on the devices - only OEM sticker numbers on the boxes.

Here's the "Autohaux" compared to the original OEM sensor. You can see that they are practically identical. Box shows our Kizashi OEM (4313057L00) number.

It has now been a couple of weeks since these were installed and I am astonished to find that I have not had a single sensor light get triggered. Evidently these work. Credit the Chinese engineers who can apparently copy every apparent detail of a TPMS and then sell it only to Kizashi owners for less than 5% of a new OEM one. How many Kizashis did Suzuki sell in China? 5? 10? I put a review on it on Amazon at the listing to help Kizashi owners.
