Tire Pressure Sensor: Service and Repair
Removal
REMOVAL
1. Remove the tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle. See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Tires and Wheels - Removal
CAUTION: When removing the stick on balancing weights from the wheel, do not use an abrasive cleaner or a cleaner which will damage
the protective finish on the wheel.
2. Remove the balancing weights from the wheel.
NOTE: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and moisture from entering the valve stem.
Retain this valve stem cap for re-use. Do not substitute a regular valve stem cap in its place.
3. Remove the cap from the valve stem (2).
NOTE: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated brass. The original valve stem core must be
reinstalled and not substituted for a valve stem core made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem
caused by the different metals.
4. Using the appropriate tool (4), remove the core from the valve stem (2).
5. Let the tire fully deflate.
CAUTION: The pressure sensor must be removed from the wheel and dropped into the tire prior to breaking the bead and dismounting
the tire. Failure to do this will greatly increase the risk of damaging the sensor when servicing the tire.
6. Remove the nut (1) mounting the sensor valve stem (4) to the wheel (2). Drop the sensor into the tire.
CAUTION: When breaking the top and bottom bead of the tire off the wheel, care must be used so the bead breaking mechanism on the
tire changer does not damage the wheel. This includes the surface of the wheel flange on the inside of the wheel.
7. Using the tire changer manufacturers procedure, first break down the upper bead of the tire. Then break down the bottom bead of the tire.
CAUTION: When dismounting the upper tire bead from the wheel, the proper procedure must be used. Not using the proper procedure
will result in damage to the wheel and tire.
8. Dismount the upper bead of the tire from the wheel. The upper bead must be fully dismounted from the wheel to remove the tire pressure
transmitter from the inside of the tire. The bottom bead of the tire does not need to be removed from the wheel.
