Tire pressure sensors

[Power6]

1. i-TPMS and d-TPMS cannot be used simultaneously, only one can be selected.

2. The frequency of the TPMS needs to be the same as the frequency of the car key, because the CEM (central electronic module) receives the TPMS signal through an antenna on the roof (shared with the remote control antenna).

3.  After the installation is completed, you can click on the CCD (central display screen) to calibrate the tire pressure. At this time, it is best for the vehicle to drive at a higher speed, but it should not exceed 80Km/h. This process is TPMS self-learning, and the tire pressure will display a number after success.

4. In rare cases, Volvo's tire pressure monitoring tools are required to learn, which simply means writing the ID, temperature, tire pressure and other data of the tire pressure sensor into CEM storage.

What I understand:
2.) The keyless antennas are around the car, in my S60 there are 3, one each side of the pass compartmentt, and one in the trunk. The same technique to track the location of the key fobs, is used to work out which wheel location for each sensor.

4.) OrBit can edit the TPMS sensor IDs on the service tab. Although you need to have the IDs, either read the ID printed on the sensor before installaton, or if already installed you'd need a TPMS tool that can read the ID. Auto learning appears to be able to be enabled/disabled, I suspect if there are variants of cars without the ability to track location (single keyless antenna) those may need the sensor IDs written with the locations.

The "Summer" wheels/tires/TPMS sensors are finally installed.

was hoping to get the TPMS programing done a bit sooner but with all the Canadian wildfire smoke blowing into the front range the last 5 days have been rough, eyes burning like crazy, watering to the point I didn't feel comfortable getting behind the wheel for any reason. I was only outside for 45mins to and hour at Discount Tire Saturday but by the time I got home, tears were streaming down my face, I was done for the day (so you got stuck with a garage pic... I know a closed garage pic with the lights on doesn't really exude feelings of Summer does it? better pics will follow)

1st time Programing, before I was just poking around and collecting information, followed the instructions and listed parameter changes and it appears everything took (based on OrBit's display...have not gone out and driven it yet to test the setting changes). There is no doubt the S60 is a bit thirsty while programming (11.2A)  

Note, I may have already said....don't freak out at the flashing TPMS "warning light" icon. It will be that way until learning is completed, then a message pops up on the IHU or DIM, saying "TPMS calibration complete" or something like that, then you are good!

I am wondering will any TPMS sensor at 433MHz works? I have installed a set of continental aftermarket tire pressure monitor, the one with sepreate display. Will this work or I need to have the sensors match your ebay link in the previous post.

The sensor looks like this

Thanks.

There are multiple versions of "protocols" with TPMS, so if you need say 433MHz, not just any 433MHz sensor will work. It doesn't seem like sensors are sold with information about which type of protocol they use, all you can do is buy them by compatibility with a car it seems. So in that case, if you can confirm compatibility of a sensor with any SPA Volvo that did originally come with TPMS sensors (2016 XC90 in many markets had sensor system) then that is a way to confirm a sensor will work.
