3. Installation

WARNING: Professional Installation Only. Failure to follow installation instructions or the use of improper TPMS sensors may result in motor vehicle TPM system failure, causing property damage, personal injury, or death.

These TPMS sensor assemblies are replacement or maintenance parts for motor vehicles that have a factory-installed TPMS system only. They are designed and manufactured to operate in Original Equipment wheels and tires only. If non-Original Equipment wheels and/or tires are used, it is the vehicle owner's responsibility to ensure the TPMS is working correctly.

3.1. General Installation Process

The following steps outline the general process for installing a TPMS sensor. Refer to your vehicle's service guide for specific instructions.

1. Loosen the tire: Remove the valve cap and core, then deflate the tire.
2. Dismount the tire: Clamp the tire onto a tire changer. Position the valve at 1 o'clock relative to the tire separation head. Use a tire tool to lift the tire bead onto the mounting head to dismount it.
3. Dismount the sensor: Use a screwdriver to remove the fastening screw and sensor from the valve stem. Then, loosen the nut and remove the old valve.
4. Mount new sensor and valve: Slide the new valve stem through the valve hole of the rim. Tighten the screw-nut with 4.0 Nm using a positioning pin. Assemble the sensor body against the rim and tighten the screw. Ensure the sensor body and valve stem are firmly connected.
5. Mount the tire: Place the tire back on the rim, ensuring the valve faces the separation head at an angle of 180 degrees. Mount the tire over the rim.

3.2. Clamp-in Sensor Removal & Installation Details

For clamp-in type sensors, specific steps are required:

1. Remove valve core: Allow all air to escape. Discard the old valve core.
2. Remove mounting nut: Remove the mounting nut from the stem and allow the sensor to fall into the wheel/tire assembly. Discard the old nut.
3. Break bead: With the sensor removed, bounce the wheel/tire to ensure the sensor is free. Break the bead from the rim on the shallow side first, then the deep side.
4. Sensor position for bead breaking: If the sensor is installed, position the tire/wheel assembly so the sensor is at 6 and 12 o'clock positions when breaking the bead.
5. Mount/demount head position: For removal, position the wheel assembly so the mount/demount head is slightly ahead of the sensor.
6. Inspect sensor: Remove the sensor and inspect for damage or tire sealants. Replace if necessary.
7. Install new components: When installing a clamp-in sensor, use a new grommet, mounting nut, special nickel-plated valve core, and sealing cap. NEVER RE-USE OLD COMPONENTS.
8. Insert sensor: Insert the sensor through the rim hole with the flat side of the sensor facing toward the wheel.
9. Tighten mounting nut: Tighten to the specified torque using a Schrader TPMS Application Guide and a 20142 Mounting Nut Torque Tool.

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!

4. Relearn Procedures

After installing new TPMS sensors, your vehicle's system needs to 'relearn' the new sensor IDs. This process activates the sensors and ensures proper communication with the vehicle's TPMS module. The sensor is 100% new and comes pre-programmed for your vehicle's make/model/year.

4.1. OBDII Relearn Procedure

This method requires an OBDII connector and a compatible TPMS scan tool.

1. OBDII connector is required.
2. Confirm TPMS sensors are properly installed.
3. Adjust tire pressures to placard value.
4. Activate TPMS Tool on left front tire sidewall next to the valve stem.
5. Repeat for RF/RR/LR tires.
6. Apply OBD connector to DLC.
7. Turn ignition to ON.
8. Press OK on TPMS Tool to transfer data to ECU.
9. Disconnect OBD connector from DLC.
10. Turn ignition to OFF then start the engine.
11. Drive for at least 5 minutes at 28mph.

4.2. Manual Relearn Procedure

This method typically does not require an OBDII connector or a specialized scan tool, but may vary by vehicle.

1. OBDII connector is not required.
2. Confirm TPMS sensors are properly installed.
3. Adjust tire pressures to placard value.
4. Apply parking brake.
5. Turn vehicle to ON/RUN.
6. Scroll the uplevel on the right side of the steering wheel until Tire pressure is displayed (Push the trip odometer reset stem until tire pressure is displayed for Base level DIC).
7. Push and hold Set/Reset button (Uplevel DIC) or push and hold trip reset stem (Base level DIC) to begin the sensor matching process.
8. Horn chirps 2x, DIC displays TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE.
9. Use tool to activate LF sensor.
10. Single horn sounds.

Note: If the OBDII procedure fails (not all TPMS scan tools are capable), the vehicle must be driven to complete the relearn process.

5. Operating & Indicators

5.1. TPMS Light Indicator

• Solid Light: If your TPMS light comes on and stays solid, it indicates that one or more tires have low air pressure (20% below recommended placard pressure).
• 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, or incorrect sensor type).

Some vehicles provide a visual representation of each tire's pressure and may or may not include the TPMS symbol.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your TPMS system is essential for optimal performance and safety.

• Inspect Valve Caps: Missing or improper valve caps can lead to corrosion and limit the serviceability of the TPMS sensor. Always ensure a sealing valve cap is installed.
• Check TPMS Sensors: Use a TPMS scan tool to test each installed sensor periodically. This helps confirm alerts from the TPMS system.
• Replace Serviceable Parts: Compression forces, high temperatures, and corrosion can damage components. Serviceable parts (like grommets, nuts, valve cores) should be replaced anytime a tire is removed from the wheel.

7. Troubleshooting

• TPMS Light is Solid: Add air to the affected tire(s) to meet the recommended placard pressure.
• TPMS Light is Flashing: This indicates a system malfunction. Possible causes include a dead sensor battery, a missing sensor, or an incorrect sensor for the vehicle type. The solution is to replace the sensor and perform a relearn procedure.
• Access Vehicle's Computer: Use a TPMS scan tool to check for any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to the vehicle's TPMS system. This can help identify system faults and view sensor history.
• Relearn Procedure Failure: If an OBDII relearn procedure fails (as not all TPMS scan tools are capable), the vehicle must be driven for several minutes at a speed of 15 mph (25 kph) or more to complete the relearn process.
• Persistent Issues: If the TPM system continues to fail to operate properly after installation and relearn, check all installation procedures and retest. If issues persist, consult with technical support or an authorized motor vehicle dealership.

8. User Tips

• Always verify vehicle fitment using the provided compatibility list and OE part numbers before installation.
• Ensure tire pressures are adjusted to the vehicle's placard value before initiating any relearn procedure.
• If you are unsure about the programming procedure for your specific vehicle, consult your owner's manual or seek expert advice from a professional.
• Keep your valve caps clean and properly sealed to prevent corrosion and ensure sensor longevity.

9. Warranty & Support

Installation of TPMS sensors is recommended to be performed only by trained professionals. Your vehicle will require programming after the installation of new sensors in most circumstances.
