• Q: How to replace the TPMS Sensor on 2006 Cadillac SRX?

  A: First raise the vehicle while using the suitable support then remove the tire/wheel assembly. Position the sensor's cap and valve on a clean area when removing the tire while using aluminum caps with nickel-plated valves to stop oxidation. The placement of bead breaking fixture should be at 90 degrees to the valve stem while mounting/dismounting head needs to face slightly clockwise of the sensor body. The tire machine helpsrotate the wheel/tire unit clockwise until the tire bead travels to the wheel rim outer edge before the tire is untangled. Perform another pass on the inner bead and separate the tire from the wheel. First remove sealing liquid from inside the tire along with wheel surfaces then remove the pressure sensor nut and sensor device. For the installation process start by clearing the grommet sealing area of all dirt and follow by placing the sensor in the wheel hole with the air passage directed away from the wheel before you install the sensor nut while keeping the sensor body parallel to the inner wheel surface and tighten to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs.). Position the mounting and dismounting head 180 degrees from the valve stem after placing the bead transition area 45 degrees counterclockwise to the valve stem and use the tire machine to rotate the tire/wheel assembly clockwise for tire bead transfer to the inside wheel rim before reinstalling the tire on the wheel. The service-oriented replacement tire pressure sensor arrives in OFF mode to prevent the antenna module from learning the sensor identification code. Swerving the tire/wheel assembly above 32 km/h (20 mph) for at least 10 seconds will take the sensor out of its OFF state. Completion involves putting the tire/wheel assembly into the vehicle before lowering the vehicle and learning the tire pressure sensors.
