Expedition 4WD V8-5.4L VIN 5 (2006)
CAUTION: Ford recommends using a round head air chuck on tire pressure sensors; it is not recommended to use air chucks with long shanks.
Doing so can cause tire pressure sensor valve stem damage and loss of tire pressure.
Removal
NOTE: The vehicle is equipped with a light blue-colored tire pressure sensor. When installing new components, use only this tire pressure sensor.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPM's) will not operate correctly if black-colored tire pressure sensors are installed.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
2. CAUTION: Do not remove the valve stem core to relieve the tire pressure.
CAUTION: If the valve stem core has been removed from the valve stem, reinstall the original valve stem core. If the original valve stem core is
damaged, a nickel-plated core must be installed. Failure to use a nickel-plated core will result in corrosion and the possible loss of tire pressure.
NOTE: Release the tire pressure by removing the sensor valve stem nut.
With the valve stem at the 6 o'clock position, remove the sensor valve stem nut and push the sensor by hand into the tire (with the cap on).
3. Using a suitable tire machine, separate both beads of the tire from the wheel.
