4. Setup and Installation

Installation of TPMS sensors typically requires specialized tools and knowledge. Professional installation is recommended. The general steps are as follows:

1. Remove the Tire: Safely lift the vehicle and remove the wheel assembly.
2. Deflate Tire and Break Bead: Remove the valve core to quickly drain air. Use a tire machine or appropriate method to break the tire bead from the rim.
3. Remove Old Sensor: Carefully remove the existing TPMS sensor from the wheel. If it's a band-type sensor, locate and remove the C-clip. For stem-type sensors, use a stem removal tool.
4. Clean Stem Hole: Ensure the valve stem hole on the rim is clean and free of debris.
5. Install New Sensor: Insert the new NPAUTO TPMS sensor into the valve stem hole. Ensure it is properly seated and secured.
6. Inflate and Rebalance: Inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. Rebalance the wheel assembly to prevent vibrations.
7. Reinstall Wheel: Mount the wheel assembly back onto the vehicle.

5. Operating and Relearn Process

These NPAUTO TPMS sensors are pre-programmed and do not require initial programming. However, a relearn procedure is necessary for your vehicle's system to recognize and pair with the new sensors after replacement. This process typically requires a TPMS scanner tool.

General Relearn Steps (may vary by vehicle model):

1. Enter Vehicle Relearn Mode: Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or an automotive service guide for specific instructions on how to put your vehicle into TPMS relearn mode. This often involves a sequence of key turns and brake pedal presses.
2. Activate Sensors: Using a compatible TPMS scanner tool, activate each new sensor individually, following the vehicle's specified order (e.g., front left, front right, rear right, rear left). Hold the tool near the valve stem until the vehicle's horn honks, indicating successful activation of that sensor.
3. Confirm Relearn: Once all sensors are activated, the vehicle's TPMS light should turn off, confirming that the sensors have been successfully paired.

If the TPMS light remains on after the relearn procedure, refer to the troubleshooting section or seek professional assistance.

6. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your NPAUTO TPMS sensors:

• Regular Tire Pressure Checks: Even with TPMS, it is good practice to manually check your tire pressure periodically with a reliable gauge.
• Sensor Inspection: During tire rotations or replacements, have the TPMS sensors inspected for any signs of damage or corrosion. The all-weather rubber stem is designed to resist rust, but external damage can occur.
• Battery Life: The sensors are equipped with a powerful battery designed for a life of 5 years or more. When the battery depletes, the entire sensor typically needs replacement.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TPMS sensors, consider the following:

• TPMS Warning Light Remains On: If the TPMS warning light stays illuminated after sensor installation, it typically indicates that the sensors have not been successfully paired with the vehicle's system. Perform the relearn procedure as described in Section 5.
• Incorrect Pressure Readings: Ensure tires are inflated to the correct pressure. If readings are still inaccurate, re-attempt the relearn process. If the issue persists, the sensor may be faulty or damaged.
• Intermittent Warnings: This could indicate a weak sensor battery or intermittent signal interference.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact NPAUTO customer support or a certified automotive technician.
