Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement (cont'd)
1. Before installing the tire pressure sensor, clean the
mating surfaces on the sensor and the wheel.
2. Install the tire pressure sensor (A) and the washer
(B) to the wheel (C), and tighten the valve stem nut
(D) finger tight. Make sure the pressure sensor is
resting on the wheel.
NOTE: Install the tire pressure sensor so that the
sensor housing surface (E) does not extend beyond
the protrusion (F) on the wheel to prevent the
sensor housing caught to the bead of the tire when
assemble the tire.

3. Tighten the valve stem nut to the specified torque
while holding the tire pressure sensor.
NOTE:
• Do not use air or electric impact tools to tighten a
valve stem nut.
• Do not twist the tire pressure sensor to adjust its
position with the wheel, as this will damage or
deform the valve stem grommet.

4. Lube the tire bead sparingly with a paste-type tire
mounting lubricant, and position the wheel so the
tire machine (A) and tire iron (B) are next to the
valve stem (C) and will move away from it when
the machine starts. Then install the tire onto the
wheel.

5. With a dry air source, inflate the tire to 300 kPa
2
(3.1 kgf/cm , 44 psi) to seat the tire bead to the rim,
then adjust the tire pressure (see page 18-5), and
install the valve stem cap.
NOTE: Make sure the tire bead is seated on both
sides of the rim uniformly.
E 6. Check and adjust the wheel balance, then install the
wheels on the vehicle.
7. Remove the jack stands, and lower the vehicle.
Torque the wheel nuts to specifications.
8. Connect the HDS, and memorize the pressure
sensor IDs using the TPMS sensor initializer tool
(see page 18-60).
