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.
   

   Image: Breaking the tire bead with the sensor already removed.

4. With Sensor Installed: If the sensor is already installed, it is important to locate a band-mounted sensor and mark its location on the tire prior to removal. Position the Tire/Wheel Assembly so that the sensor is located at 6 and 12 o'clock positions at all times when breaking the bead.
5. With Sensor Installed (Tire Removal): To remove the tire, liberally lubricate the bead and position the wheel assembly such that the mount/demount head is slightly ahead of the sensor (or the mark on the sidewall if band-mounted). The tire should dismount without coming in contact with and causing damage to the sensor. Repeat when removing the bottom bead.
6. Remove Sensor and Inspect: Remove the sensor and inspect for evidence of damage or tire sealants. Replace sensor if necessary. If the sensor is to be re-installed, remove it to a dry, clean location.
7. Snap-in Sensor Removal: Remove T-10 screw from the back of the sensor using a 20140 tool, then use a standard TTV tool to pull the old rubber valve stem through the hole and discard.

8. When Installing a Clamp-in Sensor: A new grommet, mounting nut, special nickel-plated valve core, and sealing cap must be used. NEVER RE-USE OLD COMPONENTS. Insert the sensor through the rim hole with the flat side of the sensor facing toward the wheel. Tighten the mounting nut to the specified torque as defined in the Schrader TPMS Application Guide, using the 20142 Mounting Nut Torque Tool.
9. Recommended method for assembling a Snap-in sensor: Attach TTV tool to valve stem. Insert the valve into the sensor body aligning the flats on the brass stem to the flats on the receiving hole of the sensor body. Use valve pull tool to prevent valve from spinning. Use the T-10 tool to assemble the valve to the sensor body before inserting the assembly into the wheel rim hole. NEVER RE-USE OLD COMPONENTS.
10. To install the sensor into the wheel: Use a standard TTV tool to pull the stem straight through the rim hole. To avoid damaging the stem and/or sensor, a rubber mallet or similar device may be placed between the tool and rim flange to ensure the valve is pulled straight.
11. Position the rim: Position the rim so that the sensor is 90° or turn to the right of the mount/demount head. Liberally lubricate the beads of the tire. While the machine is rotating, maintain pressure on the tire between the starting point of the sensor and the mount/demount head to keep the bead of the tire in the drop center of the wheel. This will allow the tire to be installed without damage to the sensor. Note: All tires are mounted with the sensor installed in the wheel.

Vehicle Relearn Procedure

After installing new TPMS sensors, your vehicle's system needs to relearn the new sensor IDs. This process often requires a TPMS scan tool like the EL-50448. Simplified relearn procedures are provided below for common vehicle types.

Operating Instructions

The TPMS system continuously monitors your vehicle's tire pressure and temperature to ensure optimal safety and performance.

How Direct TPMS Works

TPMS sensors are installed in each wheel and send pressure information to a receiver located in your vehicle. When the system detects low tire pressure or a malfunction, it causes the TPMS indicator light to appear on your dashboard.

TPMS Light Indicators

• Solid Light: If your TPMS light comes on and stays solid, it indicates that one or more tires have low air pressure. Some vehicles provide a visual representation of each tire's pressure and may or may not include the TPMS symbol.

• Flashing Light: If your TPMS light comes on and flashes for 60-90 seconds before staying solid, it indicates a system malfunction (e.g., dead sensor battery, missing sensor, broken sensor, or incorrect sensor type).

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your TPMS system is crucial for its longevity and accurate performance.

1. Check for the Light: If the TPMS indicator light illuminates on the dashboard during start-up and then disappears, the system is operational. If it remains solid or flashes, further action is required.
2. Inspect Valve Caps: A missing or improper valve cap can lead to corrosion, limiting the serviceability of a TPMS sensor. Ensure a sealing valve cap is always installed.
3. Check TPMS Sensors: Using a TPMS scan tool, test each installed sensor. This confirms any alerts indicated by the TPMS light.
4. Access Vehicle's Computer: Using a TPMS scan tool, check for any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) related to the vehicle's TPMS system. You can also view sensor history and identify system faults.
5. Review Audit Report: After service on the vehicle is completed, a printout of a detailed "audit report" should be provided. This report shows the status of the TPMS system and includes notes on physical inspection and service recommendations.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TPMS sensors, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Solid TPMS Light: Indicates low tire pressure. Check all tire pressures and inflate to the recommended placard pressure.
• Flashing TPMS Light: Indicates a system malfunction. This could be a dead sensor battery, a missing or broken sensor, or an incorrect sensor type. A TPMS scan tool (e.g., EL-50448) is required to diagnose and resolve the issue. Replace faulty sensors as needed.
• Sensor Not Automatically Relearning: Some vehicles may not automatically relearn new sensors after driving. An EL-50448 tool or OBD tool may be necessary to activate the sensors and initiate the relearn process. Refer to the specific relearn instructions for your vehicle model in the Setup & Installation section.

User Tips

• For Opel Astra K 2020 models, these sensors have been reported to work perfectly and are highly recommended.
• If your vehicle does not automatically recognize new sensors, an EL-50448 scan tool or an OBD tool will be needed to activate them.
