Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement

Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement (w/o WC2 or WC8)
Removal Procedure
1. Raise the vehicle on a suitable support. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Remove the tire/wheel assembly from the vehicle.

3. Important: Before the tire is removed from the wheel, note the following items to avoid tire pressure sensor damage upon tire dismounting.
^ Place the sensors cap and valve on a dry clean surface after removal, the cap is aluminum and the valve is nickel plated to prevent corrosion and are not to be substituted with a cap or valve made of any other material.
^ When separating the tire bead from the wheel, position the bead breaking fixture 90 degrees from the valve stem.
^ Position the mounting/dismounting head so the tire iron, or pry bar can be Inserted slightly clockwise of the sensor body ensuring the tire iron, or pry bar does not interfere with the sensor body when prying the tire bead up and over the mounting/dismounting head.
^ Using the tire machine, rotate the tire/wheel assembly clockwise when transferring the tire bead to the out side of the wheel rim.
^ Repeat items for inner bead.

Remove the tire from the wheel.





4. Remove the tire pressure sensor nut.
5. Remove the sensor from the wheel.

Installation Procedure
1. Clean any dirt or debris from the sensor grommet sealing area of the wheel.





2. Insert the sensor in the valve stem hole with the air passage facing away from the wheel.

3. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service and Precautions.

Install the sensor nut and position the sensor body parallel to the inside wheel surface while torquing.
^ For domestic vehicles, tighten the nut to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs.).
^ For export vehicles, tighten the nut to 12 Nm (106 inch lbs.).

4. Important: Before installing the tire on the wheel, note the following items to avoid tire pressure sensor damage upon tire mounting.
^ Position the mounting/dismounting head 180 degrees from the valve stem.
^ Position the bead transition area 45 degrees counter clockwise of the valve stem.
^ Using the tire machine, rotate the tire/wheel assembly clockwise when transferring the tire bead to the inside of the wheel rim.
^ Repeat items for outer bead.
