1. Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your GANGLE 433MHZ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors. These sensors are designed to continuously monitor your vehicle's tire pressure, enhancing safety and optimizing tire performance.
A TPMS system keeps you and your passengers safe by continuously monitoring your vehicle's tire pressure and notifies you if a tire pressure falls 25% below the recommended inflation. This information allows you to take action and fix potential issues before a blowout or flat tire occurs. Properly inflated tires also save money by reducing fuel consumption and improve vehicle performance by optimizing traction, handling, steering, stability, and braking.

General Steps for TPMS Sensor Removal & Installation
-
Remove Valve Core: Remove the valve core to allow all air to escape. Discard the old valve core.
Valve Core Removal: The valve core is being removed from the tire valve stem. -
Removing a 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.
Sensor Nut Removal: A tool is used to remove the nut securing the TPMS sensor. -
Break the Bead: With the 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.
Breaking Bead with Sensor Removed: The tire bead is being separated from the rim. - Sensor Positioning (for installation): If a band-mounted sensor is used, mark its location on the tire. 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.
-
Tire Removal: Liberally lube the bead and position the wheel assembly such that the mount/demount head is slightly ahead of the sensor. The tire should dismount without coming in contact with and causing damage to the sensor. Repeat when removing the bottom bead.
Mount/Demount Head Just Ahead of Sensor: The tire machine's head is positioned to avoid the sensor. -
Inspect Sensor: Remove the sensor and inspect for evidence of damage or tire sealants. Replace the sensor if necessary. If the sensor is to be re-installed, remove it to a dry, clean location.
Sensor Inspection: A technician is inspecting the TPMS sensor for damage. -
Snap-in Sensor Removal: Remove the old rubber valve stem using a T-tool, then pull it through the hole and discard.
Snap-in Removal: The snap-in sensor is being removed from the wheel. -
Clamp-in Sensor Installation: 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 of 1.4 Nm (12 in-lbs). NEVER RE-USE OLD COMPONENTS.
Clamp-in Assembly: Components of a clamp-in sensor are shown assembled. 
Clamp-in Installation/Torquing: A torque wrench is used to tighten the clamp-in sensor. -
Snap-in Sensor Assembly: Attach a TTV tool to the valve stem. Insert the valve into the sensor body, aligning the flats on the brass stem to the flats on the receiving hole. Use a valve pull tool to prevent spinning and a T-10 tool to assemble the valve to the sensor body. Torque snap-in assembly to 11.5 in-lbs. NEVER RE-USE OLD COMPONENTS.
Torque Snap-in Assembly: A tool is used to torque the snap-in sensor assembly. -
Install Sensor into Wheel: Use a standard TTV tool to pull the stem straight through the rim hole. A rubber mallet or similar device may be placed between the tool and rim flange to ensure the valve is pulled straight.
Snap-in Installation: The snap-in sensor is being installed into the wheel rim. - Tire Installation: Position the rim so that the sensor is 90° from the mount/demount head. Liberally lubricate the tire beads. 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 allows the tire to be installed without damage to the sensor. All tires are mounted with the sensor installed in the wheel.
CAUTION: Valve Core
DO NOT re-use 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 Overtighten!
5. Operating Instructions & Vehicle Relearn
Before beginning installation and vehicle relearn, verify application fitment with your vehicle's specifications.
Vehicle Relearn Instructions:
When replacing sensors, a suitably formatted scan tool is required to learn new sensor IDs.
- Activate parking brake. Adjust tires to vehicle placard pressure.
- Follow TPMS scan tool prompts for vehicle application. Trigger the left-front TPMS sensor at the valve stem using a TPMS scan tool trigger. Repeat for remaining sensors in the following order: right-front, right-rear, left-rear.
- Turn ignition to ON (engine off). Connect an OBDII cable to the vehicle's OBDII port and the TPMS scan tool.
- When the OBDII connection is made, the scan tool will display that sensor IDs are uploading (or similar). This process may take upwards of 1 minute.
Under normal driving conditions, the system will automatically relearn after a tire rotation or tire replacement (no sensor replacement).
6. Maintenance
Step-by-Step Best Practices in TPMS Maintenance:
- Inspect Valve Caps: A missing or improper valve cap can lead to corrosion, limiting the serviceability of a TPMS sensor. Improper valve caps include chrome-plated plastic caps, non-sealing caps, and vanity caps. Ensure a sealing valve cap is always installed.
- Check TPMS Sensors: Using a TPMS scan tool, test each installed sensor. A flashing or solid light may have already signaled an error with the TPMS system; this test confirms that alert.
- Replace Serviceable Parts: Compression forces, high temperatures, and corrosion can damage sensor components. Failure to replace these parts can lead to slow tire leaks, causing the TPMS indicator light to appear more frequently. For this reason, serviceable parts should be replaced anytime a tire is removed from the wheel.
7. Troubleshooting
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. Solution: Add air to meet placard recommendation.
- Flashing Light: If your TPMS light comes on and flashes for 60-90 seconds before staying solid, it indicates a system malfunction (e.g., a dead sensor battery, missing sensor, broken sensor, or an incorrect sensor for the vehicle type). Solution: Replace sensor, relearn sensor.
Diagnostic Steps:
- 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.
- Review Audit Report: After service on the vehicle is completed, a printout of a detailed "audit report" should be provided. The report shows the status of the TPMS system. Notes will also be included on a physical inspection and service recommendations.
8. User Tips
- Avoid Interference: When replacing sensors, ensure all old sensors are removed from the vehicle. Leaving old sensors inside the vehicle can cause interference with the new sensors, leading to the OBD system losing track of which sensors to read. If this occurs, remove old sensors and drive for a short distance (e.g., 15 km on the highway) to allow the system to re-normalize.
- Post-Installation Drive: After installation, it may take some driving for the sensors to be recognized and for the system to function correctly. Drive for at least 20 minutes or more to allow the vehicle to recognize the new sensors.
