  Q: How to replace the TPMS Sensor on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: 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.
