TPMS sensors are a bulk product that's not specific to any particular make or model of car. Any decent tire shop should be able to hook you up for like $60, installed.

 

I think you are a little light on your estimate.
Sensors physically might be all the same but the programming is vehicle specific and no doubt it varies from year to year. That is why I have to upgrade my TPMS sensor programming tool every year (minimum)

 

Went to Discount tires, and their programming tool said that there is no specific program for my Niro - they should be 'self-learned'.
My doesn't. So probably they are just not there inside. Still don't know how to check that

Any dealer/person with a "TPMS tool" can check to see if they are actually inside the tire and "working". The tool will give all the pertinent info when "pointed" at the valve stem area.

 

I'd guess the "TPMS tool" may have different name in the auto trade, and "working" is a bit overkill for describing a passive sensor function. Right or wrong, just semantics that don't really change the clear meaning.

30 seconds driving after installing the sensor will confirm if they are working or not. Self calibrating in the case of our cars, I suspect the tool is more useful for TPMS sensors that need some sort of calibration to be recognized by the car.

The tool can be used to test any sensor on any car. It is highly unlikely that all 4 sensors (or any for that matter) are not operational.
I would not suggest going out and spending money for your own personal tool just to check.
When I have programmed sensors with my TPMS tool, it asks for the year make and model of car. The program data has to be updated every year, just like models of cars can change every year.
I am not surprised that the OP has issues with the newer sensors in an older car, even if it is the same model. Possibly a scenario where 2020 wheels are mounted on a 2022 car might work???

 

So, checked today at tire service with a device - they say that no sensors inside.
So plan to drive like this until will switch to winter tires.
Then need to get sensors and install them when will be switching back to summer in spring.

Who can advise reliable sensors that will pair to this car themselves?

I've bought original NIRO 2022 PHEV wheels and mounted them on my NIRO 2020 EV .
They're missing TPMS sensors.
Which TPMS sensors do I need and please link me to where I can get them.
Thanks.

Alternatively, let your tire shop worry about it and have them find it. They probably already know the answer.

 

Like I said earlier, on three separate occasions, in two different shops, I paid $60 per wheel for the sensor and installation.

 

That I would call reasonable. Will try to find such price somewhere around.

 

I'm in the Dallas area, in Texas, if that helps you any.

 

Looks like a set of 4 on ebay can be had for under $45.00 US. They seem to be 433 MHz - 52933-D4100. No guarantees but I did some research and this is one of the part numbers that appears to fit.

 

Maybe then that my $100 per wheel "All-Inclusive" quote would be close to that. Because anyway any tire service will probably take ~$200 for installing them, balancing all 4 tires and mounting on the car.
And then it will be still your responsibility. If any of them will not pair - you start all over.
While for those $400 (all) they promise to ensure all works.

 

While riding on my winter tires with "native" sensors I've got other issue:
Even good winter Blizzaks slide when they are on 36 PSI. I've lowered them to 28 PSI and now they drive great on snow.
But now I'm getting constant warnings from the car about low pressure.

How anyone found a way to "lower car's expectation" for the tire pressure?

You can't change the computer program.
Run the tires at a higher pressure and take car when the road is greasy.

 

I've bought original NIRO 2022 PHEV wheels and mounted them on my NIRO 2020 EV - and TPMS for some reason doesn't pair (I was sure they should).
How to find out that they are same type sensors?
Is there any way to check they overall work in those wheels I bought (without going to dealer) ?

I installed a set of winter wheels from the second Hyundai car and the sensors were fixed by themselves on the first trip

 

Yes, thanks, we have clarified above, that most probably there are just no sensors inside those summer tires. I plan to buy and install them when will be switching back to summer.
