TPMS Wheel Electronics Identification

1st generation TPM wheel electronics are not compatible with 2nd generation TPM wheel electronics. 1st generation is up to  2008, and 2nd generation is 2009 and beyond.

If wheels with wheel electronics from the 1st TPM generation are mounted on a vehicle with a 2nd generation TPM system (or vice versa), the wheel electronics will not be recognized by the TPM system. The TPM system is not active and a corresponding warning is displayed in the multi-function display of the instrument cluster. The wheel electronics will also be stored as defective in the fault memory of the TPM control unit.

Wheel electronics unit (sensor) part numbers are:

• 2005-07:  997.606.021.00 (433 MHz)
• 2008:  997.606.021.01 (433 MHz)
• 2009-:  997.606.021.20 (433 MHz)
