CAUTION: These TPMS sensor multi-application assemblies are designed and manufactured to operate in Original Equipment wheels and tires only. If non-Original Equipment wheels and/or tires are used, the TPMS system may not function correctly. The vehicle owner assumes sole responsibility for ensuring proper function.

The following steps outline the general installation process for TPMS sensors. For a visual guide, refer to the diagram below and consult the official user manual PDF for comprehensive details.

Detailed Installation Steps (Removal & Installation):

1. Remove Valve Core: Remove the valve cap and core to allow all air to escape. Discard the old valve core.
2. Removing Clamp-in Sensor (before dismount): Remove the mounting nut from the stem and allow the sensor to fall into the wheel/tire assembly. Discard the old nut.
3. With Sensor Removed: Bounce the wheel/tire to ensure the sensor has fallen free. Break the bead free from the rim on the shallow side first, then from the deep side.
4. With Sensor Installed (band-mounted): If a band-mounted sensor is present, mark its location on the tire prior to removal. Position the tire/wheel assembly so the sensor is at 6 and 12 o'clock positions when breaking the bead.
5. With Sensor Installed (dismounting tire): Liberally lubricate the bead. Position the wheel assembly so the mount/demount head is slightly ahead of the sensor. The tire should dismount without contacting the sensor. Repeat for the bottom bead.
6. Inspect Sensor: Remove the sensor and inspect for damage or tire sealants. Replace the sensor if necessary. If re-installing, clean and dry the sensor.
7. Snap-in Sensor Removal: Remove the screw from the back of the sensor. Use a standard TTV tool to pull the old rubber valve stem through the hole and discard.
8. Mounting Clamp-in Sensor: Use a new grommet, mounting nut, special nickel-plated valve core, and sealing cap. Insert the sensor through the rim hole with the flat side facing the wheel. Tighten the mounting nut to the specified torque (refer to Schrader TPMS Application Guide).
9. Assembling Snap-in Sensor: Attach a TTV tool to the valve stem. Insert the valve into the sensor body, aligning the flats. Use a valve pull tool to prevent spinning. Use a T-10 tool to assemble the valve to the sensor body before inserting into the wheel.
10. Installing Sensor into Wheel: Use a standard TTV tool to pull the stem straight through the rim hole. A rubber mallet can be used between the tool and rim flange to ensure the valve is pulled straight.
11. Mounting the Tire: Position the rim so the sensor is 90° or 1/4 turn to the right of the mount/demount head. Liberally lubricate the tire beads. While the machine rotates, maintain pressure on the tire between the starting point of the sensor and the mount/demount head to keep the bead in the drop center of the wheel. This allows tire installation without damaging the sensor.

CAUTION: Do NOT reuse the removed valve core. Always replace with a new electroless nickel-plated valve core (aluminum stem). Use of non-electroless nickel-plated cores with aluminum valve stems can result in galvanic corrosion and loss of tire pressure. Tighten core with an approved valve core tool to 0.23Nm - 0.56Nm (2 in-lbs. - 5 in-lbs.). Do Not Over tighten!

4. Vehicle Relearn Procedure

After installing new TPMS sensors, your vehicle's TPMS system needs to be relearned to recognize the new sensors. The sensors come pre-programmed, but activation via a scan tool or a relearn procedure is necessary. There are typically three types of relearn procedures:

• Stationary Relearn: Requires the vehicle to be placed in a specific 'Learn Mode'.
• Automatic Relearn: For some vehicles, this can be completed by simply driving the vehicle.
• OBD Relearn: Directly writes TPMS sensor IDs to the TPMS module via the OBD connector using a specialized tool.

Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the exact procedure required for your specific make and model. Below are general relearn instructions for various GM vehicles, which may be similar to your Haval H6 or Great Wall Tengyi C50.

5. Operating Principles

The Direct TPMS works by installing sensors in each wheel that send pressure information wirelessly to a receiver in your vehicle. This system continuously monitors your tire pressure and temperature.

TPMS Light Indicator:

• Solid Light: If the TPMS light comes on and stays solid, it indicates that one or more tires have low air pressure (typically 20% below recommended placard pressure). Some vehicles provide a visual representation of each tire's pressure.
• Flashing Light: If the TPMS light comes on and flashes for 60-90 seconds before staying solid, it indicates a system malfunction. This could be due to a dead sensor battery, a missing sensor, a broken sensor, or an incorrect sensor for the vehicle type.

When the system detects low tire pressure or a malfunction, the TPMS indicator light will appear on your dashboard, prompting you to take action.

6. Maintenance and Best Practices

Regular maintenance of your TPMS system ensures its longevity and accurate performance. Follow these best practices:

1. Check for the Light: The TPMS indicator light should illuminate briefly during vehicle start-up and then turn off. If it remains solid or flashes, it indicates an issue.
2. Inspect Valve Caps: Missing or improper valve caps (e.g., chrome-plated plastic caps, non-sealing caps) can lead to corrosion and limit the serviceability of the TPMS sensor. Always ensure a sealing valve cap is used.
3. Check TPMS Sensors: Use a TPMS scan tool to test each installed sensor. This confirms alerts from the indicator light.
4. Access Vehicle's Computer: Use a TPMS scan tool to check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to the TPMS system. This can help identify system faults and view sensor history.
5. Review Audit Report: After vehicle service, request a detailed audit report. This report shows the status of the TPMS system and any service recommendations.

Compression forces, high temperatures, and corrosion can damage TPMS components. It is crucial to replace serviceable parts (like grommets, valve cores, and mounting nuts) whenever a tire is removed from the wheel to prevent slow tire leaks and ensure proper system function.

7. Troubleshooting

If your TPMS indicator light illuminates, refer to the following:

• Solid TPMS Light: This indicates that one or more tires are significantly underinflated (typically 20% below recommended placard pressure).
  Solution: Immediately check all tire pressures with a reliable gauge and inflate them to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended pressure.
• Flashing TPMS Light: This indicates a malfunction within the TPMS system itself, such as a dead sensor battery, a missing sensor, a broken sensor, or an incorrect sensor type.
  Solution: If the light flashes for 60-90 seconds and then stays solid, it confirms a system malfunction. It is recommended to have the system diagnosed by a professional using a TPMS scan tool to identify the exact cause and replace any faulty sensors.

If the TPMS system continues to fail to operate properly after checking and addressing these issues, consult with technical support or an authorized vehicle dealership.

8. User Tips

• Always keep a reliable tire pressure gauge in your vehicle for quick checks.
• Check your tire pressures monthly, even if the TPMS light is not on, as minor pressure drops may not trigger the warning immediately.
• When replacing tires, ensure that the tire shop uses new TPMS service kits (valve stems, grommets, nuts) to prevent leaks and corrosion.
• If you frequently switch between summer and winter tires, consider having a separate set of TPMS sensors for each set of wheels to avoid repeated relearn procedures.
