Where is the pressure sensor/solenoid located and correct part number. Most auto part sites show two different styles of sensors.

That car uses a 433 mhz sensor mounted to the valve stem, OE number is 13540602 but that is the current sensor part it replaces - 13581561, 20922901, 25880395, 13589256, 13598773, 22853740, 13589601 . To install it you break the bead on the outside, unscrew the sensor, then cut off the old stem, Clean the area, pop the new stem in, reinflate the tire. Then you need either a TPMS programmer or a scan tool that can do TPMS You use the tool to activate the sensor and then copy it's data into the tires position.
