• Q: How to replace the TPMS Sensor (Snap In Style) on 2010 Buick Lucerne?

  A: In-order to replace the Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor (Snap In Style), one needs to lift the vehicle on suitable support. Take off the tire/wheel assembly from the vehicle and thereafter remove the tire from the rim. Always install a new Schrader(R) tire pressure monitor (TPM) and a new TORX screw as well. Remove the TORX screw from the tire pressure sensor and pull it straight off the tire pressure valve stem. Be careful not to scratch or damage clear coating on the Aluminum wheel tires with the tire changing equipment because it can cause them to corrode and peel off. Next, pull out the tire pressure valve stem through the rim. When installing remember the flat of the valve must layout with the flat of the snap in the enclosure and TPM valves and TORX screws only has one time use. Mount the tire pressure sensor to the valve stem, install the new TORX screw, and tighten to 1.3N-m (11.5 Ib in). Use the manufacturer-approved tire mounting lubricant instead of silicon or corrosive applications. Apply tire soap to the rubber part of the valve and use a wheel rim valve stem mounting tool to pull through the valve from the side, parallel to the valve hole in the rim. Notable that Snap Fit TPM sensors are delivered in off-state but will be out of it upon tire inflation letting it supports programming normally for a vehicle. Mount the tire to the rim, then learn the tire pressure sensors later to spot-checked the tires, install the tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle, and lower the vehicle.
