TPMS Transmitter
TPMS TRANSMITTER
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
^
Ensure valve cap is always in place except when adjusting tire pressure.
^
If the valve core and valve cap are replaced, use a genuine replacement part. The valve core is similar to a conventional one, but uses nickel
plating to avoid corrosion.
^
Relieve tire pressure by removing the valve nut rather than by removing the valve core.
^
Replace the valve stem grommet with a new one every five years or when the tire is replaced.
^
If you shake the TPMS transmitter, you can hear a rattle, but this is not a failure. It is normal.
^
Do not drop the TPMS transmitter from height greater than 1 meter (3.3 feet).
^
Do not expose the TPMS transmitter to extraneous magnetic fields.
^
TPMS transmitter should not be stored at temperatures above 80°C (176°F).
^
TPMS transmitter should not be exposed to temperatures above 100°C (212°F).
^
If the TPMS transmitter is replaced, execute "Tire Pressure Sensor ID Registration" on scan tool MB991958 "Special Function."
