Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPM system
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on the vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may
result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage.
Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with TPM, as damage to the sensors may result.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire pressure sensors in original style factory wheels
only. If aftermarket wheels are installed, and therefore do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will not function properly
and the driver will be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors. Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a
standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be installed in a wheel, it is necessary to install a new sensor-to-wheel seal, metal washer and valve stem
nut, to ensure air tight sealing.
CAUTION: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications See: Wheels and Tires/Wheels/Specifications .
Overtightening by a little as three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.
