TPMS Service - Schrader TPMS Sensor: SB-28078

SCHRADER SB-28078 TPMS SENSOR

Q: Does this TPMS sensor require programming after installation?

This sensor comes pre-programmed for specific SAAB and Saturn vehicles, eliminating the need for additional programming steps. However, a vehicle-specific relearn procedure must be performed after installation using TPMS diagnostic tools with OBD capability to sync the sensor with your vehicle's computer system.

Q: What vehicles is the SB-28078 compatible with?

This sensor is designed specifically for SAAB 9-3 and 9-5 models from 2003-2007, plus Saturn Astra 2008 model year. It directly replaces OEM part numbers 13172567, 13227143, and 24437708, ensuring proper fit and function without modifications to your vehicle's existing TPMS system.

Q: How does this compare to universal programmable TPMS sensors?

Unlike universal sensors that require time-consuming programming for each vehicle application, this pre-programmed sensor is vehicle-specific and ready for installation. This reduces setup time, eliminates potential programming errors, and ensures immediate compatibility with your SAAB or Saturn vehicle's existing TPMS system without additional equipment.

Q: What tools are needed for proper installation?

Proper installation requires a calibrated torque wrench to achieve precise tightening specifications of 62 in-lbs for the mounting nut and 4 in-lbs for the valve core. Additionally, TPMS diagnostic tools with OBD capability are necessary to perform the mandatory vehicle relearn procedure after sensor installation.
