Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions

CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is strictly prohibited for vehicles equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants can clog tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION:Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors. Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION:Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in a steel wheel or after market wheel. Use tire pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION:Do not reuse the original Sensor-To-Wheel Grommet when installing a pressure sensor. Always use a new grommet and properly torque the sensor nut to specifications.
