Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement
Removal
1. Raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2. Remove the wheel with the faulty sensor.
3. Remove the tire valve stem cap and the valve stem core to deflate the tire.
4. Remove any balance weights, and then break the bead loose from the wheel with a commercially available tire changer (A).
NOTICE: Note these items to avoid damaging the tire pressure sensor:
^
Do the outside of the wheel first.
^
Position the wheel as shown so the valve stem (B) is 90 degrees from the bead breaker (C) as shown.
^
Do not position the bead breaker of the tire changer too close to the rim.
5. Position the wheel so that the tire machine (A) and the tire iron (B) are next to the valve stem (C) and will move away from it when the machine
starts. Then remove the tire from the wheel.
6. Remove the valve stem nut (A) and the washer (B), then remove the tire pressure sensor with the valve stem (C) from the wheel.
NOTE: Check the nut and the washer, if they have deterioration or damage, replace them with new ones during reassembly.
