REMOVAL
Tire Removal
1. | Deflate tire & remove balance weights.
• | The tire bead should be broken approx. 90° from the valve side of the wheel. The bead breaker should not be set too deep.
• | Avoid tire/tool contact with the valve on dismount.
• | Dismount should end near the valve.
Sensor Removal
Handle the sensor with care.
1. | Remove the valve nut.
The valve nut should not be re-used.
2. | Discard the valve assembly.
INSTALLATION
Sensor Fit
• | Handle the sensor with care.
• | Avoid lubricant contact if possible.
1. | Assemble valve to sensor and turn valve 3 times with the square part of the screw in the slot.
• | The fit should not be tight i.e. it should still be possible to easily adjust valve angle.
• | Ensure that the wheel to be fitted is designed for sensor mount. There should normally be a mark to indicate this.
• | Ensure that the valve hole and mating face of the wheel are clean.
2. | Mount assembly to wheel.
Ensure sensor feet are against the wheel throughout the remainder of the assembly process.
3. | Tighten washer and nut by hand until the valve thread meets the nut built-in calibrated stop.
Ensure that the grommet remains in contact with the wheel.
4. | Using a torque wrench, tighten the nut to 2.95±0.37 lb-ft (4.0±0.5 Nm) It is normal to feel a break as the 1.7 lb-ft (2.3Nm) calibrated stop in the nut snaps and the torque falls.
• | Increase torque smoothly in order to achieve a clean break of the stop.
• | Do not exceed allowed torque.
• | Do not use electric or pneumatic tools.
Tire Fit
Only use wheels designed to accommodate the TPMS sensor.
1. | Lubricate the tire bead not the rim. Excessive lubrication should not be applied.
2. | Move the mounting tool away from the valve.
Avoid tire / tool contact with the valve.
3. | Finish with mounting tool near to valve.
4. | Carry out inflation / pressure correction and then fit valve cap.
Sensor Initiating Procedure
The sensor's default state will be Storage Auto (High Line).
1. | Change the newly installed sensor mode to Normal Fixed Base(Low Line) with the 'TPMS exciter'.
Mode (Status/option) of the sensor installed to the vehicle should be Normal Fixed Base (Low).
2. | Read the four sensor's ids starting with sensor 1 (1 normally front left, 2 front right, 3 rear left, 4 rear right).
Note that sensors which were already configured as Base (Low Line) will take longer to read.
3. | Connect 'TPMS exciter' to the diagnostic connector.
4. | Register the four sensor's ids to the receiver.
5. | Cycle Ignition, wait 15 seconds before turn Ignition back on then related DTC should be erased from the receiver.
In order for the system to correctly monitor tires for under-inflation, there should be a total of exactly 4 sensors fitted to each of the four driven wheel positions. There should be no other sensors in the vehicle since this could cause the system to monitor the wrong sensors.
Ensure that there are only 4 sensors in the vehicle.
