A replacement TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) sensor for a Honda CR-V typically costs between roughly $60 and $250 per wheel, depending on parts, labor, and whether programming is required. Dealers and OEM parts are usually on the higher end, while independent shops with aftermarket sensors tend to be cheaper.
TPMS sensors monitor each tire’s air pressure and are mounted inside the wheel. When a sensor fails or a tire is replaced, the system may need to be relearned so the car recognizes the new sensor. The total price depends on the sensor type, where you buy it, and whether the shop handles relearn programming as part of the service.
What affects the price
Prices vary based on the sensor type, labor, and whether a relearn is required. The below factors commonly influence the final bill:
- Sensor type: aftermarket TPMS sensors are cheaper; OEM Honda sensors cost more but may offer longer life and guaranteed compatibility.
- Labor and tire service: installation, wheel removal, and re-mounting/balancing add to the cost.
- TPMS programming/relearn: some vehicles require a relearn procedure after replacement; dealerships often charge a separate programming fee.
- Where you go: dealers typically charge more than independent shops; prices vary by region and shop rates.
- Multiple sensors: replacing all four sensors increases cost, but may be sensible if several sensors are near failure.
In practice, you can expect per-wheel costs to fall roughly in the range of $80 to $220 with aftermarket parts, and roughly $120 to $320 or more with OEM parts or dealer service. If four sensors are needed, multiply accordingly.
Estimated price ranges by scenario
Understand how the numbers translate to common scenarios when servicing a Honda CR-V. The ranges assume typical labor rates and standard TPMS practices, and may vary by year, trim, and location.
- One wheel replaced with an aftermarket TPMS sensor at an independent shop: Parts $20-$60; labor $40-$90; total around $60-$150. Programming/relearn may be included or extra.
- One wheel replaced with an OEM Honda TPMS sensor at an independent shop: Parts $60-$120; labor $40-$100; total around $100-$220. Relearn may add $20-$80 if charged separately.
- One wheel replaced at a dealership with an OEM sensor: Parts $60-$120; labor $60-$120; programming/relearn often included but can add $50-$100; total around $170-$340.
- All four wheels replaced (aftermarket sensors) at an independent shop: Parts $80-$240; labor $160-$360; total around $240-$600. Relearn for all four may add $40-$160.
- All four wheels replaced with OEM sensors at a dealership: Parts $240-$480; labor $240-$480; programming/relearn typically included; total around $480-$960 or more.
Note: Prices vary by year and region, and some CR-Vs require a specific relearn procedure that can affect the final total. Always ask for a breakdown with parts, labor, and any programming fees, and confirm whether tire mounting/balancing is included.
Tips to save money
Shop around, request quotes from both independent shops and dealers, and ask for a line-item invoice. If you have aftermarket sensors and the shop can program them, you may save compared with OEM sensors. Some tire shops offer package deals when replacing TPMS sensors along with new tires.
Always ensure that the TPMS relearn procedure is completed after replacement so the system recognizes the new sensors and the warning light goes off.
Summary
Replacing a TPMS sensor on a Honda CR-V typically costs from about $60 to $320 per wheel, depending on sensor type, labor, and whether programming is required. Independent shops with aftermarket sensors tend to be cheaper than dealers with OEM parts. For four sensors, the total can be higher, but shopping around and asking for a clear, itemized quote can help you manage the cost. Plan for potential programming fees and confirm whether tire mounting/balancing is included in the service.
