I'm looking for OEM or 3rd party TPMS sensors for my winter tires on Odyssey 2023.

I am able to find some inexpensive ones on Amazon (Canada) but they only support Odyssey up to 2017. What actually changed in the sensor between generations?

  1. Is it fine to get sensors myself and have the tire shop install? Otherwise the tire shop is charging something like $400 extra for the sensors.
  2. Any recommendations for where to find the parts for a 2023 Odyssey?
  3. Is it okay to go with 3rd party pressure sensors, or would you prefer OEM?
 

 
BTW. Here in the US, Costco does sensor all inclusive for $60 a corner based on discussions in the prior gen threads. Not sure about the pricing up north in the frozen tundra.

4th gen used 315mhz sensors. 5th gen uses 433mhz sensors.

Should be, that is what I did.

Any recommendations for where to find the parts for a 2023 Odyssey?
Have you gotten a quote from your Honda dealer? They sell them super cheap (at least they used to).

I'd recommend OEM, but keep in mind you do not need an exact part match. My understanding is that all current "large" Honda vehicles (Odyssey, Ridgeline, Pilot, plus Acura) use a Continental/VDO TPMS system. Any 433mhz sensor that starts with 427-TXX-XXX should work. Rockauto is practically giving away these OEM sensors: More Information for VDO / CONTINENTAL SE55915. Note that those sensors have silver stems instead of the black rubber your existing ones probably have.

Also note that they do not need to be programmed or anything. The vehicle will automatically relearn them after driving around for a few minutes at speeds over 25 km/h,

Just ordered Nov 08 from Toronto Honda Parts, they say they are in stock. Regular delivery expected Nov. 15. Expedited is an option. I have never used these guys before, so fingers crossed. There is an option to enter your VIN to confirm fitment. $39.24 CAD/ ea, before shipping and tax.

I ended up getting it from the Honda dealership in my city (GTA area), for $40 CAD each as well. They had them in stock in the dealership.
 
Glad to hear you guys are finding them.

The fact that you can get them from Honda for relatively cheap and that the vehicle automatically relearns them is, in my humble opinion, an often overlooked advantage that these vehicles have for those of us who run winter tires (or even for those that rotate tires themselves).
 
Confirming that other 42753-Txx-xxx parts work on a 2023 Odyssey EX-L. I recently bought a second set of rims for winter tires and used a set of 42753-T6N-A01 TPMS sensors. These were automatically detected and used without any reprogramming (as expected). Purchased on eBay for ~$25 for the set of 4. This TPMS has the silver/gray metal valves which better match my rims than the black valve 42753-T3R-A04. Note that other variations of this number also exist (ie. -A02/-A03/-Exx). Various sites will say these don't fit a 2023 Odyssey EX-L (ok for a 2020-22) but it appears this is really just what valve stem it has. The black valve set on my original rims does match better than a silver valve due to dark gray paint on original rims. Also note that a bunch of vendors offer this part on eBay at similar prices; NOT ALL INCLUDE NUTS and WASHERS, so be sure to check for full package.

It would be interesting to know what is the difference between the various A01/A02/A03/A04/etc variants since they all are (or at least seem to be) compatible. Finally one concern I have is that these are "old" parts and batteries may not last as long and hence aren't quite as good a deal as it seems; guess I'll find out eventually. From some internet research I believe these TPMS sensors contain an accelerometer chip to detect movement and enter a sleep mode when not moving; so battery drain mostly occurs when moving. But there still has to be some battery drain when not moving such that these parts don't have an infinite shelf life.

You don’t get Genuine Honda parts for $25 for 4. Likely fakes.

A reasonable counter point regarding the eBay purchase. My original post was intended to document that other part number(s) appear to work beyond the 42753-T3R-A04. The 42753-T6N-xxx parts are available from many sources, including Honda, if you want a silver valve/stem.

The I agree there is reason to consider the origin of the eBay parts and the possibility they didn't ever go through the Honda official parts procurement/distribution process. They do look just like the real Honda part and were automatically recognized and work correctly (regularly verify tire pressure). So the remaining question is will they continue to work correctly and for how long. Also important to consider the consequence of a failure, which I personally consider to be acceptable for a TPMS sensor. Caveat emptor.

Since the "Genuine Honda parts" are actually VDO/Continental produced and that is likely subcontracted out to some manufacturer in China there is some question about how much value add is in the Honda chain. One possible explanation is that they were oversupply, out of date (especially since -A01 is obsolete), or somewhere dumped/skimmed out of supply chain. Another is that these are "seconds" after failing some quality assurance test, obviously a bigger concern. Since the TPMS system will notify me of various problems and I regularly check tire pressure I hope to detect TPMS sensor failures before they cause further problems. I decided it was worth the risk to save $125 US. My SWAG is shorter life-time is my biggest risk.
