    Warning
    Exercise caution as tire rapidly deflates. Wear appropriate PPE.
  6. Position the upper bead roller at the edge of the rim.
  7. Rotate the tire to loosen the upper bead. Lubricate the bead as the tire rotates.
  8. Position the upper bead roller approximately 100 mm from the valve stem, and then compress the bead to expose the TPMS sensor.
  9. Remove the nut that attaches the TPMS sensor to the wheel, and then remove the TPMS sensor.
    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • 11 mm deep socket
    • Ratchet/torque wrench

Install

  1. Remove the valve stem cap from the new TPMS sensor.
  2. Remove the nut from the valve stem.
    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • 11 mm deep socket
    • Ratchet/torque wrench
  3. Use an IPA wipe to thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the TPMS sensor mounting hole.
