Tire Pressure Sensor: Service and Repair
Tire and/or Tire Pressure Sensor (If Equipped) Mounting and Dismounting
WARNING:
^
Do not stand over a tire being inflated. Tire bead may break when the bead snaps over rim's safety hump and cause serious personal
injury.
^
Do not inflate tires exceeding 330 kPa (48 psi). If tire bead does not seat even when a 330 kPa (48 psi) pressure is reached, deflate the
tire, re-lubricate the bead and reinflate the tire. Over-inflation may cause the bead to break, which may cause serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
^
When replacing a tire of TPMS equipped vehicle, be sure to drop the tire pressure sensor inside the tire before detaching the tire bead
from the wheel. Removing the tire from wheel without dropping the tire pressure sensor inside the tire may cause damage to the tire
pressure sensor.
^
When replacing a tire of TPMS equipped vehicle, check to make sure that tire size is as specified in the "Tire Placard". If size of
installed tire is out of specification, tire pressure sensor may be broken because of interference with tire bead.
^
Do not try to change tires using hand tools or tire irons alone, as doing so may damage tire beads or wheel rim.
^
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with wire brush or coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and light rust. Before
mounting or dismounting tire, bead area should be well lubricated with approved tire lubricant.
^
After mounting tire, inflate it to 300 kPa (44 psi) so that beads are completely seated. Then adjust pressure to specification indicated
on tire placard.
^
Valve caps should always be installed on valves to keep dust and water out.
^
Carefully handle tire pressure sensor not to apply impact when installing it. Tire pressure sensor exposed to an impact may not
function properly.
^
When reusing tire pressure sensor (1), be sure to replace valve cap (2), valve core (3), tire pressure sensor mounting nut (4), seal (5)
and valve stem (6) with new ones. Otherwise air leakage will occur.
