Remove
- Remove the wheel. See Wheel Assembly (Remove and Install).
- Place the wheel on the tire changer, with the outside of the wheel facing up.
- Insert the center clamp, and tighten the cone on the center clamp.
- Remove the valve stem cap.
-
Remove the valve stem core and allow
the tire to deflate.
WarningWear appropriate PPE and exercise caution as the tire rapidly deflates.
- Position the upper bead roller at the edge of the rim, at least 100 mm away from the valve stem.
- Rotate the tire to loosen the upper bead. Lubricate the bead as the tire rotates.
- Position the upper bead roller approximately 100 mm from the valve stem, and then compress the bead to expose the TPMS sensor.
-
Remove the nut that attaches the TPMS
sensor to the wheel, and then remove the TPMS sensor.
TIpUse of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- 11 mm deep socket
Install
- Remove the valve stem cap from the new TPMS sensor.
-
Remove the nut from the new TPMS sensor.
TIpUse of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- 11 mm deep socket
- Install the TPMS sensor so that it fits closely to the wheel.
-
Install the nut that attaches the TPMS sensor to the wheel.8 Nm (5.9 lbs-ft)NoteIf a Sysgration (purple) sensor is replaced by a Sensata (black) sensor, install the nut removed from the Sysgration (purple) sensor onto the Sensata (black) sensor to keep the appearance consistency of all the 4 wheels.TIpUse of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- 11 mm deep socket
- Release the upper bead roller, and allow the bead to seat against the wheel.
-
Remove the valve stem core and inflate the tire to seat the bead.
WarningWear appropriate PPE while inflating.CAUTIONDo not exceed the pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.
- Install the valve stem core, and then remove the wheel from the tire changer.
- Reinstall the wheel. See Wheel Assembly (Remove and Install).
-
Erase the stored TPMS Sensor IDs.
- Locally connect a laptop with Toolbox 3 to the vehicle. See Toolbox 3 (Connect and Disconnect).
- Click the Actions tab, type "TPMS vsec" into the search field, click PROC_VCSEC_X_TPMS-ERASE-SENSOR-IDvia Toolbox: (link)via Service Mode: Chassis ➜ TPMS ➜ Erase All TPMS IDs, click Run, and allow the routine to complete.
- Confirm at the touchscreen that all TPMS values represent as dashes.
-
Drive the vehicle above 25 kph/15 mph,
maintaining speed for greater than 10 seconds.
NoteAt least 1 of the sensor IDs will no longer be mounted to the vehicle due to the sensor(s) swap.NoteThe vehicle will search for the new sensor ID(s) to pair and connect.
- Confirm sensor connections.
- Disconnect the laptop.
- Raise the LH front window and close the LH front door.
