Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement: Installation

NOTE:
  • Use only wheels that have a "TPMS" stamp (A) on the inside of the aluminum wheels, and the outside of the steel wheels.
  • The vehicle may be equipped with one of the six types of wheels.

  1. Before installing the tire pressure sensor, clean the mating surfaces on the sensor and the wheel.
  2. Install the tire pressure sensor (A) and the washer (B) to the wheel (C), and tighten the valve stem nut (D) finger tight. Make sure the pressure sensor is resting on the wheel.
    NOTE: Install the tire pressure sensor so that sensor housing surface (E) should not exceed protrusion (F) of wheel to prevent the sensor housing from being caught onto the bead of the tire when assembling the tire.

  3. Tighten the valve stem nut to the specified torque while holding the tire pressure sensor.
    NOTE:
    • Do not use air or electric impact tools to tighten a valve stem nut.
    • Do not twist the tire pressure sensor to adjust its position with the wheel, as this will damage or deform the valve stem grommet.
  4. Lube the tire bead sparingly with a paste-type tire mounting lubricant, and position the wheel so the tire machine (A) and tire iron (B) are next to the valve stem (C) and will move away from it when the machine starts. Then install the tire onto the wheel.

  5. With a dry air source, inflate the tire to 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2 , 44 psi) to seat the tire bead to the rim, then adjust the tire pressure (see PRE-ALIGNMENT CHECKS ), then install the valve stem cap.
    NOTE: Make sure the tire bead is seated on both sides of the rim uniformly.
  6. Check and adjust the wheel balance, then install the wheels on the vehicle.
  7. Remove the jack stands, and lower the vehicle. Torque the wheel nuts to specification.
  8. Connect the HDS, and memorize the pressure sensor IDs using the TPMS sensor initializer tool (see MEMORIZING THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ID  ).
