Disassembly
WARNING: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor battery may release hazardous chemicals if exposed to extreme mechanical
damage. If these chemicals contact the skin or eyes, flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention. If any part of the battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately. When disposing of TPMS sensors, follow the correct
procedures for hazardous material disposal. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: Tire pressure sensors are equipped with Lithium-ion batteries and must be disposed of accordingly.
NOTE: Tire pressure sensors are manufactured in multiple colors based on their application. When installing a new sensor, make sure the color of the
sensor being installed matches the color of the sensor that was removed. The different colored sensors are not interchangeable.
NOTE: The sensor is available separately, the cradle and strap are available as a strap kit. There are several different strap kits available based on
wheel diameter, but all strap kits share the same base part number.
1. Remove the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor.
2. WARNING: Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling components or parts that have pointed or sharp edges. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in serious personal injury.

(0.98 inch) from the buckle.
2. Using a large screwdriver and a twisting motion, unbuckle the strap.
3. Discard the strap.
3. To remove a dealer-installed strap, turn the worm gear screw until the strap is fully released from the worm gear.

4. NOTE: To aid assembly, mark the location of the cradle prior to disassembly.
Using a screwdriver, or similar tool, remove the cradle by inserting the screwdriver under the cradle and prying up.
Assembly
1. NOTE: Make sure the sensor is fully seated into the new cradle. The sensor will make a "click" noise when fully seated.
Position the sensor into the new cradle by inserting the hinge end of the sensor into the hook end of the cradle and pushing the opposite end of the
sensor down onto the cradle.
2. CAUTION: Metal scrapers may damage the wheel. Use only plastic or non-metallic scrapers to remove the cradle adhesive strip residue.
NOTE: The sensor and cradle must be installed in the drop well of the wheel, 180 degrees from the valve stem.
Clean the area where the sensor and cradle are to be installed.
