Can this module be swapped and expected to work or does it require some sort of additional programming by the dealer? Anyone know?

Just had this module replaced in my F430 by the dealer. I was told there was programming that needed to be done. I'd assume its the same for the Maserati.

When the module is replaced, your existing sensors (or new ones) actually have to be programmed to it. A big mistake folks make when replacing sensors is they think the calibration process as described in the manual is also the learning/programming process for new sensors. It is not. Hence, they then have to take their cars to the dealership then have to pay extra to have the tires removed, re-mounted, and re-balanced so that the sensor ID's can be accessed and programmed into the scan tool. If you want to save money by having new sensors installed by a tire shop, make sure that they either have the scan tool and software for your car for programming or write down the sensor ID's and their respective locations (RF, RR, etc.) prior to mounting the tires on the wheels.

Good info. I've been battling sensor issues for some months. I had all four sensors replaced after they went dead last winter. They're huf sensors but weren't being read. Both dealers here only seem to know to put the sensor ids in the module, no calibration, no nothing, and of course, the module didn't pick up the sensors so they wanted to swap those sensors with factory sensors. Anyway, all of a sudden, the module picked up and read all for sensors for about 2 months, then recently the module stopped reading the sensors so I assume I need a new module.

Lots of BS by the dealers so they can make money. The embedded batteries in the sensors last about 5 years and then need renewing.

Just have a tire shop fit new sensors (I bought mine on ebay new for about $150 a set of 4). Then you must let all air out of the tires and wait for at least 5 minutes. Inflate the tires again go driving immediately. When you set off hit the calibrate button over your head on the roof console and hold until it you get the calibrating message on the dash.

The car will "learn" the new sensors in about 5 miles or so. Don't worry about driving that far, you just have to drive for a few miles to get the process started. If you have driven for about 10 miles or so and still don't see pressure readings just hit the calibrate button again.

Look at my earlier posts for the ebay link to the sensors or PM me for details (I don't sell them or have any connection to sellers).

Sensors have been replaced. My car sat for the winter with the error so I think I have a module issue now. Like I said, it picked up all 4 sensors for about 2 months all of a sudden, then just quit again. The cal button does nothing. The error just comes back

I just had the TPMS ecu replaced as a recall. They had it for half the day. Mine is a 2012 and it only acted up during storage in winter when I would start it up from time to time to keep the fluids moving and battery warmed here and there. Usually, after I warmed it for a bit I would shut it off and then restart (giving it time to for the self-check) and the light would go off. It never lit up during use or when it is out and about in better weather. Either way, the ECU was replaced under recall, maybe you guys should check for a recall on the original TPMS ECUs. Just a thought? Let me know, good luck
