Snap In Wheel TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement 22854866 ODM

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:

• Saturn
• Pontiac
• Hummer
• Saab (9-4x uses SA#20-922-900, cross-references to 20922900)

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 TREAD Act requires a "bulb check" of the TPMS warning light that blinks when the ignition is turned on.

The vehicle's display may show a specific alert indicating a tire pressure monitoring system malfunction, warning the driver that the system is not operating correctly.

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.

The sensor is equipped with an automotive-grade battery with an expected service life of 5+ years 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 22854866. 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 12768826, 13581558, 13586335, 13598771, 13598772, 20922900, 20923680, 25799331, and 25920615.

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

Important: This sensor requires proper installation and may require programming for vehicle integration. Key points to consider:

• Pre-programmed Options: Some versions of this sensor come pre-programmed for specific makes, models, and years, allowing for quick and easy replacement.
• Relearn Procedure: The relearn procedure for this sensor follows the same process as the vehicle's learn procedure. The system warns the driver when tires are under-inflated by 25% or more.
• Manual Learn: Some GM vehicles require a manual learn procedure for TPMS sensors.
• Programming Requirements: Not all sensors come pre-programmed. Some require activation with a TPMS scan tool before they will function properly.
• 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 available with different valve configurations:

• Clamp-In (Metal Valve Stem) – Features an aluminum valve stem
• Snap-In (Rubber Valve Stem) – Available for certain applications

Verify which type is correct for your vehicle before purchasing.

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+ 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.

The sensor is designed to withstand extreme operating conditions:

• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +125°C
• Storage Temperature: -40°C to +35°C
• Suitable for use in various climate conditions

When purchasing replacement sensors:

• Choose sensors that meet or exceed OEM specifications
• Verify the product is TREAD Act compliant
• Ensure the sensor is supplied new and in original packaging
• Confirm the sensor includes the appropriate valve stem configuration
• Look for sensors from reputable brands such as Schrader, ACDelco, Dorman, or Standard

After installation:

• If the sensor is pre-programmed, it should be picked up by the system immediately
• If programming is required, use a TPMS scan tool to activate the sensor
• Drive the vehicle 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
• Valve stem type required (clamp-in metal or snap-in rubber)
