Sure. It's just a sensor in the wheel tied to the valve stem in later models. Early used ABS sensors to measure wheel speed.
More important are comparable offsets and other fitment considerations. |

It only goes one way - You can use TPMS wheels on a non TPMS car (as Finnegan says-non TPMS cars use the ABS system to measure when a tire is smaller than the others) so the sensor will do nothing. But you cant but a non TPMS wheel on a TPMS car as it will be looking for the sensor signal.

You can if you don't mind the light in the instrument cluster on all the time, mechanically there are no problems. There are a few specialty shops such as EAS IIRC that can recode the light off. You can also do what others have done and just put a piece of black tape over the light.

Last summer my car warned me about low pressure and sure enough it was low in one of the rear wheels. When I changed tires shortly after there were no TPMS sensor in any of the wheels.
When did they go to TPMS sensors in the wheels instead of working with the ABS sensors? |
