Understanding TPMS:

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is a safety feature designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various vehicles. It provides real-time tire pressure information to the driver via a dashboard indicator.

TPMS is Your Tire's Distress Signal: TPMS continuously monitors your vehicle's tire pressure and notifies you if a tire pressure falls 25% below the recommended inflation. This allows you to address issues before a potential blowout or flat tire.

TPMS Keeps You Safe: Underinflated tires are a significant cause of vehicle crashes. Proper tire pressure is crucial for safety.

TPMS Helps Your Car Perform: Correct tire pressure optimizes traction, handling, steering, stability, braking, and extends tire life.

TPMS Reduces CO2 Emissions: Properly inflated tires improve gas mileage, contributing to reduced carbon emissions.

How Direct TPMS Works: TPMS sensors are installed in each wheel and transmit pressure information to a receiver in your vehicle. When low tire pressure or a malfunction is detected, the TPMS indicator light appears on your dashboard.

4. Installation Guide

This section details the steps for removing old sensors and installing new GANGLE TPMS sensors. This procedure requires specialized tools and should only be performed by qualified professionals.

General Preparation:

1. Remove the valve core to allow all the air to escape. Discard the old valve core.
2. For clamp-in sensors, remove the mounting nut from the stem and allow the sensor to fall into the wheel/tire assembly. Discard the old nut.
3. Bounce the wheel/tire to ensure the sensor has fallen free.
4. Break the bead free from the rim on the shallow side first, then from the deep side.
5. If a band-mounted sensor was present, 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.

Sensor Removal:

6. To remove the tire, liberally lube the bead and position the wheel assembly such that the mount/demount head is slightly ahead of the sensor (or the mark on 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.
7. Remove 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.
8. For snap-in sensors, remove the valve stem 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.

Sensor Installation:

9. For Clamp-in sensors: 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.
10. For Snap-in sensors: 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 of the sensor body. Use a valve pull tool to prevent the 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.

Tire Installation:

11. 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.
12. Position the rim so that the sensor is 90° or 3 o'clock 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.

CAUTION:

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 Over tighten!

5. Vehicle Relearn Procedure

After installing new TPMS sensors, the vehicle's system needs to be relearned to recognize the new sensor IDs. A suitably formatted scan tool is required for this process. Before beginning, verify application fitment.

Relearn Instructions:

1. Activate the parking brake.
2. Adjust all tires to the vehicle placard pressure.
3. Follow the TPMS scan tool prompts for your specific vehicle application.
4. Trigger the left-front TPMS sensor at the valve stem using the TPMS scan tool trigger. Repeat for the remaining sensors in the following order: right-front, right-rear, left-rear.
5. Turn the ignition to ON (engine off).
6. Connect the OBDII cable to the vehicle's OBDII port and the TPMS scan tool.
7. When the OBDII connection is made, the scan tool will display that sensor IDs are uploading (or similar). The process may take up to 1 minute.

Under normal driving conditions, the system will automatically relearn after a tire rotation or tire replacement (no sensor replacement).

6. TPMS Best Practices

Following these best practices ensures the longevity and proper function of your TPMS system.

1. Check for the Light:

If your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, the TPMS indicator light should illuminate on the dashboard during start-up. If the light appears and then disappears, the system is operational.

• Solid Light: One or more tires are 20% below recommended placard pressure. Solution: Add air to meet placard recommendation.
• Flashing Light: Indicates a dead sensor battery, missing sensor, broken sensor, or an incorrect sensor for the vehicle type. Solution: Replace sensor, relearn sensor.

2. 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.

3. 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.

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 (Check Tool Capability):

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.

Types of TPMS Sensors:

Compression forces, high temperatures, and corrosion can damage components of TPMS sensors. 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.
