About Schrader 33500 EZ-Sensor Single SKU
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
69% praised for its accuracy, while 31% experienced inconsistent results.
Two out of four were dead on arrival and did not trigger on despite using two different tools.
67% liked the timely alarms and notifications, but 33% found them too frequent.
I found an activation tool on Ebay and activated the sensors, and now they are working fine.
Most negative reviews are due to programming errors or the shop not knowing how to do it, and not the fault of the sensors.
Two out of four TPMS sensors were dead on arrival and did not trigger despite using two different tools.
62% liked the long battery life, but 38% experienced shorter battery life than expected.
The battery life of these sensors is very short. I had to replace three sensors on two different vehicles within three years of sensor installation.
71% praised for its universal compatibility, but 29% experienced issues with their specific vehicle.
This TPM sensor is my standard go-to sensor as it works on most vehicles.
It worked fine for my 2016 Toyota RAV4.
These sensors require a compatible tpms sensor tool to work, which can be a costly addition with a price tag of $100-200.
The sensor is advertised as an OEM replacement and exact match to my vehicle.
69% liked the reliable wireless connectivity, but 31% experienced connectivity issues.
I faced issues with the connectivity of the sensors and had to visit 4 different tire shops, but none of them could activate them. Eventually, I found an activation tool on Ebay and activated them myself.
I tried using two different tools, one Snap On and one Autel, but the TPMS sensors still wouldn't trigger.
68% found it easy to install
I had them installed at a local shop, so I cannot comment on the programming process.
72% appreciated the quality material, but 28% experienced premature failure.
I warn that the sensors require a compatible TPMS sensor tool to work.
I received a complaint that 2 out of 4 units were dead on arrival and would not trigger despite using 2 different tools. The user believes that the quality control of Schader is terrible.
80% praised for its wide accuracy range, but 20% experienced issues outside of the specified range.
I warn that the sensors must be programmed with a compatible tpms sensor tool or they will not work as they are universal.
