The Tire Pressure Sensor replacement process begins with raising your vehicle on a proper lifting support followed by tire/wheel assembly removal. Place all components of the sensor on a clean area with aluminum caps and nickel-plated valves to stop corrosion from developing. When breaking tire beads from the wheel, position your bead breaking fixture at a 90-degree angle from the valve stem and direct your tire iron or pry bar slightly clockwise toward the sensor body to lift and get the tire bead over the mounting/dismounting head. To move the tire bead outside of the wheel rim use the tire machine with a clockwise rotation until finished repeating the process for the inner bead before complete tire removal. The inside area of tires along with wheel surfaces requires complete removal of all existing tire sealant. The tire pressure sensor nut should be removed before taking out the tire pressure sensor. Clean the grommet sealing area then insert the sensor into the wheel hole with the air passage directed away from the wheel and tighten it to 7 N.m (62 lb in) while positioning the sensor body parallel to the inside wheel surface. When replacing the tire position the mounting/dismounting head 180 degrees adjacent to the valve stem with the bead transition area at 45 degrees counterclockwise from the valve stem. The tire machine enables clockwise rotation of the tire/wheel assembly while setting the tire beads into position inside or outside the wheel rim before wheel installation. A service replacement tire pressure sensor comes in OFF mode at shipping to stop its identification code from being added to the antenna module's memory. The sensor operates in OFF mode, requiring the tire/wheel assembly to spin above 32 km/h (20 mph) for at least 10 seconds until the roll switch inside the sensor closes. After placing the tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle you must lower the vehicle down before learning the tire pressure sensors.

In order to replace the Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor (Clamp In Style) lift the vehicle on a proper support and take off tire/wheel assembly. Assuredly before the tire has come off, take the cap and valve of the sensor and place it on a clean surface, it should always be a cap of aluminum and a nickel plating valve so it doesn't corrode. During the separation of the tire bead from the wheel, place the bead breaking fixture in 90 degrees from brake valve and break the tire bead with tire iron or pry bar slightly clockwise of the sensor body while breaking over the mounting/dismounting head. Turn the tire/wheel assembly clockwise with the tire machine when lifting the tire bead to the outside of the wheel rim and do the same for the inner bead before removing the tire. Before you remove tire pressure sensor nut and the sensor, wash away any possible tire sealant from the tire surface and the wheel. Clean any dirt/debris from the grommet sealing area then insert the sensor into the wheel hole to have the air passage away from the wheel. Mount the sensor nut parallel to the inside wheel surface with 7 Nm (62 inch lbs) torque. Prior to reinflating the tire, move the mounting/dismounting head to 180° from the valve stem and the bead transition area at 45° counterclockwise relative to the valve stem. Rotate the tire/wheel assembly in a clockwise direction during the transfer of the tire bead to the inside of the wheel rim, and repeat the same for the bead on the outside before mounting the tire onto the wheel. Notice that a service replacement tire pressure sensor will arrive in the OFF mode so the sensor's unique identification code will not be learned into the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) memory; to turn the sensor out of OFF mode, rotate the tire/wheel assembly more than 32 km/h (20 mph) over at least 10 seconds. Finally, mount the tire/wheel assembly to the vehicle, bring down the vehicle and learn the tire pressure sensors.

Finally, mount the tire/wheel assembly to the vehicle, bring down the vehicle and learn the tire pressure sensors.

The process starts by lifting the vehicle onto a proper support type then disconnecting the tire/wheel assembly before proceeding. Position the sensor's both cap and valve onto a clean dry area and make sure to use only aluminum caps and nickel-plated valves to minimize corrosion. Use a bead breaking fixture at a 90-degree angle from the valve stem before inserting a tire iron or pry bar clockwise near the sensor body to pry the tire bead over the mounting/dismounting head. Operate the tire machine to turn the tire/wheel set clockwise so the tire bead crosses to the wheel rim's external side and apply this process again for the internal bead before extracting the tire from the wheel. All remaining tire sealant needs removal from the inner surfaces of tires and wheels. The procedure calls for sensor nut removal and sensor extraction. The installation requires cleaning of the grommet sealing area followed by sensor insertion into the wheel hole with the air passage directed toward the outside of the wheel while installing the sensor nut while positioning the sensor body parallel to the inside wheel surface then tightening it to 7 N.m (62 lb in). To resume tire installation start by positioning the mounting/dismounting head at right angles to the tire valve stem with both bead transitions oriented 45 degrees counterclockwise to the valve stem. The clockwise movement of the tire/wheel assembly directs the tire bead into the wheel rim followed by repeating the process for the outer bead. You must spin the tire/wheel combination faster than 20 mph or 32 km/h above the ground for at least ten seconds to operate the service replacement tire pressure sensor properly before reinstalling your vehicle's tire/wheel assembly.

To replace the Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor (Snap In Style) lift the vehicle on an applicable support and remove the tire-wheel assembly. Remove the tire from the rim, with the use of a new Schrader(R) tire pressure monitor (TPM) and new TORX screw (in the case of fixing it). Erase the TORX screw from the tire pressure sensor and create plain off the tire pressure valve stem, careful not to scope or break the clean coat packaging on the wheels which are of aluminum. Pull off the tire pressure check valve stem, through the rim. During installation, make sure the flat of the valve is aligned with the flats of the snap in the enclosure and keep a note that TPM valves and TORX screws are one-time-use only. Mount the tire pressure sensor to the valve stem and slide the new TORX screw down locking it in with 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in). Consult an approved tire mounting lubricant, and do not use the silicon or the corrosive base. Soap up the rubber portion that extends out from the valve stem, and use the tire valve stem mounting tool to "pull" the valve right through again parallel to the VALVE hole on the rim. Note that Snap Fit TPM sensors are designed to arrive in the OFF state but will go from this stage when the tire is deflated and the technician will be able to program the vehicle normally. Mount the tire on the rim, tire-wheel assembly is then installed on the vehicle, lower the vehicle, learn the tire pressure sensors.
