Hey guys,
So I have been looking for a set of snow wheels for my Mirage and found some steelies on Craigslist tonight. The price was right, but it looks like these steelies have had the OEM TPMS sensors swapped onto the aftermarket alloy wheels that the owner purchased.
So I have four good wheels, but no TPMS sensors. In looking to find replacements, I have come across three different part numbers: 4250C276, 4250D585, and 4250B975.
I have found a few used sensors on Ebay that are PN 4250C276, and were supposedly taken directly out of '14-'15 Mirages. But this PN isn't supposed to be used on Mirages, in fact, it has been superseded by PN 4250B975 according to Mitsubishi. And neither of these PNs is listed as correct for the Mirage!
This sensor is supposed to have been pulled directly from a '14 Mirage, and according to the seller is not a sample photo:
On the left-hand side, you can see the part number...4250C276.
The (current) correct number, according to Mitsu, is 4250D585....but these are not the ones actually coming out of wrecked Mirages.
What will work on these cars? The 4250C276 is pretty common, and cheap. Used in lots of Chrysler and Mitsubishi products. Like $80 for a set of four new ones. The 4250D585 is only available from a Mitsu parts counter, and is spendy at around $100 each. A couple Ebay sellers mention that part number 4250C276 has simply been superseded by part number 4250D585, but they are the same actual part. I can't find a pic of the 4250D585, but the 4250C276 looks like it would fit perfectly with the valve stems that are still in the wheels so this would really explain a lot. Can anyone confirm this?
Has anyone dismounted their wheels and taken a pic of the TPMS sensor? Does anyone have a loose TPMS sensor removed from their Mirage that they could check the PN on? Anyone with parts counter knowledge or TPMS knowledge that could weigh in?
