If you own a GHIBLI and need a reliable replacement TPMS sensor, the BH-Sens RDE036V21 is a solid option — but only if it matches your car’s specific system. Maserati uses a 433MHz band for its tire pressure monitoring on most Ghibli models, and this sensor covers that frequency. However, not every Ghibli is built the same, and year-to-year changes can affect compatibility. This guide walks you through the fitment details, how to check your car, and what to look for before you click “buy.”
Which Ghibli Years Are Compatible?
The RDE036V21 sensor is designed primarily for vehicles that originally used one of the following OE part numbers: 0045400217, 05154876AA, 407005DA0C, 4199034000, 56029398AB, 56029400AD, 56029400AE, 670002790, 670106084, 68241067AB, 68374924AA, 684065. Many of these numbers appear on European and American platforms that share TPMS architecture — and that includes the Maserati Ghibli.
Based on common aftermarket cross-reference data, the RDE036V21 fits:
| Maserati Ghibli Generation | Model Years (typical) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| M157 (first gen) | 2013 – 2016 | Often uses OE 670002790 / 670106084 |
| M157 (facelift) | 2017 – 2020 | May use same OE numbers; verify production date |
| Ghibli Hybrid / Trofeo | 2021+ | Not recommended – likely different system |
Important: Maserati changed TPMS suppliers around 2021 on some Ghibli trims (especially the Hybrid and Trofeo). If your car is 2021 or newer, the RDE036V21 may not work. Always confirm by checking the OE number on your current sensor.
How to Verify Fitment Before Buying
You don’t want to install a sensor that won’t pair with your Ghibli’s receiver. Here’s the step-by-step method that professional techs use:
1. Read the OE Part Number
Remove one of your existing TPMS sensors (or check the spare wheel’s sensor) and look for a stamped number. Common Maserati Ghibli OE numbers include 670002790 and 670106084. If you see either of those, the RDE036V21 is a direct match.
2. Confirm the Frequency
Your Ghibli almost certainly uses 433MHz, but double-check with your dealer or a scan tool. If the system runs at 315MHz (unlikely on Ghibli), this sensor won’t work.
3. Check the Valve Type
The RDE036V21 comes with a metal valve stem. Most Ghibli models use metal stems, but some early 2013–2014 cars may have rubber stems. Metal stems are more durable but require a different installation tool. If your car has rubber valves, you can still use this sensor — just remove the metal stem and reuse your original rubber one (or buy a separate rubber valve kit).
4. Verify Vehicle Trim & Optional Packages
Some Ghibli trims (e.g., S, S Q4, Diesel) may have different TPMS modules. The sensor itself is the same; the issue is usually the software programming. The RDE036V21 is pre-programmed to work with standard 433MHz systems, but if your car requires a specific sensor ID or part number, you may need to have a shop clone the old sensor’s ID. This is rare on Ghibli, but possible on early 2013 models.
5. Use an Online Fitment Checker
Most major TPMS supplier websites let you enter your vehicle’s VIN or year/make/model. If you’re buying from RisensAuto, you can also contact their support with your VIN for a guaranteed match.
What If the RDE036V21 Isn’t a Perfect Match?
If your Ghibli’s OE number isn’t in the list, don’t panic. The RDE036V21 is a multi-brand sensor that fits Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, BAIC, Chrysler, Dodge, and eight other makes. Many of those share the same TPMS platform as the Maserati Ghibli — so even if your exact OE number isn’t listed, the sensor may still work. The safest bet is to compare the physical shape, valve stem length, and thread size. The RDE036V21 uses a standard thread (clamp-in) that fits most aftermarket wheels.
Recommended Part
For a direct replacement on most 2013–2020 Maserati Ghibli models, I recommend the RDE036V21 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, BAIC, Chrysler, Dodge & 8 More | OE# 0045400217, 05154876AA, 407005DA0C. It has the correct frequency, metal valve stem, and wide OE cross-reference that covers the majority of Ghibli applications. Just confirm your own OE number before ordering.
Installation Tips
- Torque spec: Tighten the sensor nut to about 35 lb-ft (check your vehicle manual, as wheel material matters).
- Programming: The RDE036V21 is a “multiprotocol” sensor — it auto-learns to the vehicle’s system after driving above 15 mph for a few minutes. No manual programming tool is needed for most Ghibli models.
- Battery life: Expect 5–7 years of normal use. If your current sensors are older than that, replace all four at once.
FAQ
Does the RDE036V21 fit a 2023 Maserati Ghibli?
No. The 2021+ Ghibli (especially Hybrid and Trofeo) uses a different TPMS system with updated sensor protocols. You’ll need a sensor specific to that generation — check your OE number first.
Can I install this sensor myself without a tire machine?
If you have tire disassembly tools and a torque wrench, yes — but most people prefer a tire shop. The sensor clamps into the wheel well, and the valve nut must be torqued properly to avoid leaks.
Will this sensor work on my 2014 Ghibli Diesel?
Yes, the Diesel model uses the same TPMS system as the gasoline versions. Confirm the OE number (likely 670002790) and you’re good.
How do I reset the TPMS warning after installing?
Drive the car above 15 mph for about 10 minutes. The RDE036V21 auto-learns and the warning light should go off. If it doesn’t, a TPMS reset tool or a quick scan at a tire shop can force a relearn.
