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 cap and the valve core, and let the tire deflate.
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 the tire machine (A) and 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 and discard the valve stem nut (A), then remove the tire pressure sensor and valve stem (B) from the wheel.
NOTE: Use a new nut and a new valve stem on reassembly.
