Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement: Removal: Notes

  1. Raise the appropriate end of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS ).
  2. Remove the wheel with the faulty sensor.
  3. Remove the tire valve cap and the valve core, and let the tire deflate.
  4. Remove any balance weights, and then break the bead loose form the wheel with a commercially available tire changer (A).
    NOTE: Note these items to avoid damaging the tire pressure sensor:
    • Do the outside of the wheel first.
    • Position the wheel as shown so the valve stem (B) is 90 degrees from the bead breaker (C) as shown.
    • Do not position the bead breaker of the tire changer too close to the rim.
