Denso TPMS Sensor 550-0105 – Pre‑Programmed Direct‑Fit for Lexus/Scion/Subaru/Toyota, OE Performance

Denso TPMS sensor 550-0105 is a pre-programmed, direct-fit replacement sensor engineered to restore your vehicle's tire-pressure monitoring functions without the need for sensor cloning.

This sensor is a factory-style replacement built to match the original equipment performance for many Lexus, Scion, Subaru and Toyota models. Manufactured in Japan, the 550-0105 arrives pre-programmed to the same specifications as the OE unit so it preserves diagnostic trouble codes, supports auto-locate and fill-assist features, and meets the battery-life expectations drivers rely on. While the part is plug-and-play for fit and function, some vehicles require a quick relearn procedure at a shop or with a scan tool to register the new sensor with the vehicle’s TPMS module.

Which vehicles will this Denso 550-0105 sensor fit?

The 550-0105 is designed for specific model years across four brands. It covers many Lexus sedans and SUVs, Scion sport compacts, Subaru BRZ, and numerous Toyota sedans, crossovers and the 4Runner.

• Lexus: ES300h, ES350, GS350, GS450h, IS F, IS200t, IS250, IS350, LS460, LS600h, LX570, NX200t, NX300h, RC F, RC350 (various years stated by model)
• Scion: FR-S and iM (selected years)
• Subaru: BRZ (selected years)
• Toyota: 4Runner, Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Highlander, Mirai, Prius, Prius C, RAV4, Yaris (selected years)

How does this sensor match OE performance and safety systems?

Denso engineers this sensor to mimic the original unit’s electrical and pressure-reporting characteristics so the vehicle’s TPMS system continues to operate as designed. That means pressure warnings, auto-locate, and fill-assist functions remain intact, and on-board diagnostics retain correct trouble code behavior.

• Pre-programmed to OE specifications for immediate compatibility.
• Preserves diagnostic trouble codes to avoid false TPMS alerts.
• Supports auto-locate and fill-assist functions used during maintenance.

Do I need any special tools to install the Denso 550-0105?

Mechanically, the sensor installs like the original — it’s a quick, direct-fit replacement that uses the same valve hardware and mounting method. However, many vehicles require a TPMS relearn step so the car recognizes the new sensor; that relearn may require a dealer or an independent shop with a relearn tool or scan tool capable of performing the manufacturer’s procedure.

• Direct-fit installation—no cloning or custom programming required.
• Relearn procedure may be needed; tools/scan tool often required.
• Retail single-quantity part with no core charge.

What are the product highlights and origin details?

The 550-0105 delivers OE-style quality and expected battery life, covering a wide selection of domestic and import applications. Denso’s sensors are built with the same performance targets as OEM parts and shipped from Japan.

• OE technology preserves diagnostic trouble codes.
• Country of origin: Japan.
• No core charge required; sold as a single quantity sensor.

Who is this for: The Denso 550-0105 is intended for owners, technicians, and repair shops replacing a failed or aged TPMS sensor on compatible Lexus, Scion, Subaru, and Toyota vehicles. It’s especially useful when you want a like-for-like replacement that maintains factory TPMS behavior and avoids the extra step of cloning or complex programming—just fit the sensor and perform the manufacturer’s relearn procedure if required.
