Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before reinstalling an existing tire pressure sensor, replace seal (2) and metal washer (1) at base of sensor valve stem (6) to ensure
proper sealing.
1. Wipe area clean around sensor/valve stem mounting hole in wheel (5). Make sure surface of wheel is not damaged.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging sensor antenna strap (1), if equipped, hold pressure against rear of metal valve stem (2) while sensor is
inserted through wheel mounting hole and nut is installed.
2. Insert sensor (1) through wheel (2) as shown keeping pressure against rear of metal valve stem (See Arrow). Potted side of sensor is to be
positioned toward wheel. Do not attempt to mount sensor otherwise, damage may occur.
3. Install sensor nut (with pressed-in washer) (3) by hand.
NOTE: Before tightening sensor nut, push downward on sensor housing (2) in an attempt to make it flush with interior contour of wheel (1).
4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor nut by as little as 12 Nm (106 in. lbs.) may result in sensor separation from the valve stem. Under this
condition, the sensor may still function. However, the condition should be corrected immediately.
