Assembly
CAUTION:Damage to the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor may result if the tire mounting is not carried out as instructed.
1. Install a new valve stem onto the TPMS sensor.
-
Tighten the valve stem-to-TPMS sensor screw to 2 Nm {0.2 kgf-m, 18 in-lbf}.
CAUTION:To prevent TPMS sensor and valve stem damage, the valve stem must be installed onto the TPMS sensor and then installed into the wheel
as an assembly.
2. Lubricate the valve stem with soapy water and install the valve stem and TPMS sensor assembly into the wheel using a block of wood and a
suitable valve stem installer.
CAUTION:It is important to pull the valve stem and TPMS sensor assembly through the wheel rim hole in a direction parallel to the valve stem hole
axis. If the assembly is pulled through at an angle, damage to the valve stem and sensor assembly may occur.
CAUTION:Use care not to damage the wheel surface when installing the valve stem and TPMS sensor assembly.
3. Make sure the valve stem rubber if fully seated against the wheel.
4. Position the wheel on the turntable of the tire machine, then lubricate and position the bottom bead of the tire on the wheel.
CAUTION:Use only a soap and water solution to lubricate the tire. Use of anything other than soap and water may result in damage to the TPMS
