• Q: How to replace the TPMS Sensor on 2007 Cadillac XLR?

  A: Start by lifting the vehicle securely then remove the wheel/tire combination to replace the Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor. Position the bead breaking fixture at a right angle position from the valve stem before you separate the tire bead from the wheel while placing the aluminum cap and nickel-plated valve on a clean dry surface to avoid corrosion. The spacing between the tire machine components and tire bead must remain precise when the sensor needs removal. Scrap off any remaining tire sealant that sticks to both tire inner surfaces and the wheel when the tire is removed. Start by taking out the tire pressure sensor nut and extracting the sensor from its position. Start by cleaning the valve stem hole sealing area on the wheel before passing the sensor through with its air channel facing away from the rim and fasten the sensor nut while keeping the sensor body aligned with the inner wheel surface to a torque of 7 N.m (62 lb in). When installing the tire back onto the wheel ensure that all components including irons and tires and sensors remain within an acceptable tolerance range. The installation ends with putting the tire onto the wheel then attaching the tire/wheel assembly to the automobile and lowering the vehicle before learning tire pressure sensors.
