Installation

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Before reinstalling a tire pressure sensor, replace sealing grommet at base of valve stem.

1. Wipe area clean where sensor sealing grommet contacts wheel. Make sure surface of wheel is not damaged.







2. Install sensor in wheel as shown. Do not attempt to mount sensor otherwise, damage may occur.
3. Using a thin wall socket, install special sensor nut. Tighten nut to 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.) torque.

CAUTION: Over-torquing the sensor nut by as little as 12 Nm (106 inch lbs.) may result in sensor separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the condition should be corrected immediately.

4. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturers instructions, paying special attention to the following to avoid damaging tire pressure sensor:







a. Rotating Wheel Tire Changers- Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor valve stem approximately 210° from the head of the changer in a clockwise direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads.







b. Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem is located approximately 210° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead breaker area to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool in a counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads.
5. Install wheel and tire assembly on vehicle.
6. Retrain tire pressure sensors.
