Ford Lincoln Mercury Mazda Pressure TPMS Tire Sensor For CM5T1A150AA 433MHz

CM5T1A150AA TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor For Ford / Lincoln / Mercury / Mazda

This TPMS sensor is cross-referenced with the following OEM part numbers and equivalents:

This TPMS sensor is compatible with a broad range of vehicles. Below is a comprehensive compatibility list:

This OE part number is also compatible with vehicles from:

• VPG (MV1)

Note: This sensor may also be compatible with additional vehicle models not listed above. Always verify your original sensor part number and confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchasing.

When the TPMS sensor begins to fail or its battery reaches the end of its service life, drivers may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

The most common indicator of a failing sensor is the persistent illumination of the TPMS warning light on the dashboard. If tire pressures are confirmed to be correct and the light remains on, the sensor itself is likely the issue.

A constantly flashing TPMS light (typically for 60 to 90 seconds upon startup) indicates a problem with one or more sensors. This could be due to a low battery, a damaged sensor, or a faulty connection.

The tire pressure display on the instrument cluster may show incorrect values, fail to update, or display dashes (—) instead of pressure readings.

The TPMS system may work intermittently, with the warning light turning on and off randomly during driving. This often indicates a weak sensor battery or internal component degradation.

Sensors can fail due to battery depletion, damage from road debris, or corrosion. Valve stem corrosion is a frequent issue, especially in areas that use road salt during winter. This sensor features a nickel-plated valve stem and aircraft-grade aluminum construction to resist galvanic corrosion.

The sensor is equipped that ensures maximum battery life and sensor performance. The expected service life is 5 to 7 years or 100,000 miles under normal operating conditions. The battery is non-replaceable, meaning the entire sensor unit must be replaced when the battery is depleted.

Before purchasing, confirm that your vehicle‘s original sensor carries part number CM5T1A150AA (also printed as CM5T-1A150-AA on the sensor body). This number can typically be found:

• Printed on the sensor body itself
• In the vehicle’s service documentation
• Through the vehicle manufacturer‘s parts catalog

The sensor may also be listed under alternate numbers including 9L3Z1A189A, DE8T1A180AA, DE8T1A150AA, and CM5T1A180AA.

This sensor operates at 315 MHz. Verify that your vehicle‘s TPMS system requires this frequency before purchasing.

Important: This sensor is designed for straightforward installation. Key points to consider:

• Pre-programmed: The sensor is pre-programmed at the factory with the exact OE protocol, so it’s ready to be installed and OE-relearned out of the box.
• Unique ID Cloning: This sensor features Unique ID Cloning functionality, allowing you to clone/copy the unique ID from one sensor to another.
• Relearn Procedure: After installation, simply drive the vehicle. On average it takes around 15 minutes on a steady drive to allow the new pre-programmed sensors to communicate back to the vehicle‘s systems.
• Professional Installation: Installation of TPMS sensors is recommended to be performed by trained professionals. Tire installation specialists should be aware of the sensor’s presence to avoid damage during tire mounting and demounting procedures.

This sensor is supplied with a clamp-in metal valve stem. Key considerations:

• Aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum construction
• Nickel-plated finish to resist galvanic corrosion
• Fully assembled with nickel-plated valve core
• Do not reuse valve stems — always use new valve stems when installing sensors

When installing the sensor, ensure the Torx bolt is tightened to the specified torque of 11.5 in/lbs to prevent damage or improper sealing.

Sensors can be replaced individually as they fail, or as a complete set of four. The choice depends on:

• The age of the remaining sensors (if approaching 5–7 years, consider full set replacement)
• Budget considerations
• The specific failure pattern (single sensor vs. multiple failures)

This sensor is designed for any wheel position and does not require position-specific programming. The vehicle‘s TPMS system will automatically learn which sensor is at which wheel position after driving.

When purchasing replacement sensors:

• Choose sensors that meet or exceed OEM performance in compliance with all SAE2657 specifications
• Look for sensors that have undergone extensive testing including operational temperature, thermal shock, extreme temperature, humidity, frost, proof pressure, rapid deflation, contamination, salt fog, drop, centrifugal force, vehicle speed, and mechanical vibration tests
• Verify the product includes a warranty (typically 36,000 miles / 3 years)

After installation:

• Drive the vehicle for approximately 15 minutes to allow the sensor to communicate with the TPMS receiver
• Monitor the TPMS display to confirm pressure readings are appearing correctly
• If the warning light persists, a diagnostic scan may be required to identify any remaining issues

When ordering this sensor, provide the following vehicle information to ensure correct compatibility:

• Make and model
• Year of production
