• Q: How to replace the TPMS Sensor on 2003 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: Start replacing the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) sensor by elevating the vehicle on a proper support system. Separate the tire from the wheel by first removing the tire and wheel assembly. Gently separate the TPM sensor nut and TPM sensor while keeping the components safe throughout the removal process. During sensor replacement keep the air outlet oriented towards the wheel exterior and maintain a parallel relationship between the sensor body and wheel surface while torquing the sensor nut to domestic vehicles require 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.) and export vehicles require 12 Nm (106 inch lbs.). Place the sensor into the valve stem hole while cleaning the sensor grommet sealing area afterward before threading the sensor nut. Finish the tire/wheel assembly by returning and reattaching the tire following vehicle lowering. Programming TPM sensors requires the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Programming Tool (J 41760) to activate the programming mode through the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR). Proceed with programming the sensors following a simultaneous lock-unlock button press on the key fob to access programming mode. After programming the TPM sensors you must ensure each wheel position generates a horn chirp following the program sequence of left front, right front, right rear, and left rear. The programming mode terminates under three conditions: turning off the ignition system or completing sensor programming or remaining in this mode for more than five minutes without sensor programming.
