Failure to ensure that the TPMS is working correctly can result in severe injury or death.

Vehicle Relearn Instructions

Before beginning installation and vehicle relearn, verify application fitment with us.

Standard Relearn Process

  1. Activate parking brake. Adjust tires to vehicle placard pressure.
  2. Insert key, turn ignition ON (engine off), and then OFF.
  3. Exit vehicle and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
  4. For system to learn new TPMS sensor IDs, vehicle must be operated for several minutes at a speed of 15 mph (25 kph) or more.

OBDII Relearn Process (Alternative Method)To avoid driving the vehicle, an OBDII relearn is possible with some OBDII TPMS scan tools:

  1. Activate parking brake. Adjust tires to vehicle placard pressure.
  2. Follow TPMS scan tool prompts for vehicle application. Trigger left-front TPMS sensor at valve stem by using TPMS scan tool trigger. Repeat for remaining sensors in the following order: right-front, right-rear, left-rear.
  3. Turn ignition to ON (engine off). Connect OBDII cable to vehicle OBDII port and TPMS scan tool.
  4. When OBDII connection is made, scan tool will display that sensor IDs are uploading (or similar). The process may take upwards of 1 minute.
  5. If OBDII procedure fails (not all TPMS scan tools are capable), vehicle must be driven to complete relearn process.

TPMS Sensor Removal & Installation

  1. Remove the valve core to allow all the air to escape. Discard the old valve core.
  2. 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 old nut.
  3. With Sensor Removed: Bounce the wheel/tire to ensure that the sensor has fallen free. Break the bead free from the rim on the shallow side first, followed by breaking the bead from the deep side.
  4. With sensor installed: Remember that it is important to locate a band mounted sensor and mark the location on the tire prior to removal from the vehicle. Once the position of the sensor is known, 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: 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.
  6. Remove sensor and inspect for evidence of damage or tire sealants. Replace sensor if necessary. If the sensor is to be re-installed, remove the sensor to a dry, clean location.
  7. Snap-in sensor removal: Remove T-10 screw from back of sensor using 20140 tool, then using a standard TTV tool pull old rubber valve stem through 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.
  9. 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.
    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.
    Position the rim so that the sensor is 90° or ¼ 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

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!

Step-by-Step Best Practices in TPMS

  • Check for the Light
    If the 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 tyres 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 senGANGLE-TPMS-4-Pack-Multi-Application-Sensor-Assemblies (4)
  • 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. Remember a flashing or solid light may have already signaled that there is an error with the TPMS system; this test confirms that alert.
  • 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 print out 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. This is a great tool to show customers why service is required.

Types of TPMS SensorsGANGLE-TPMS-4-Pack-Multi-Application-Sensor-Assemblies (6)Compression forces, high temperatures and corrosion can damage any of these components. Failure to replace these parts can lead to slow tyre leaks, causing the TPMS indicator light to appear more frequently. For this reason, serviceable parts should be replaced anytime a tyre is removed from the wheel.

Everything You Need to Know About TPMS

TPMS is Your Tire’s Distress Signal
TPMS 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 gives you the opportunity to take action and fix the problem before a potential blowout or flat tire situation takes place.

GANGLE-TPMS-4-Pack-Multi-Application-Sensor-Assemblies (7)TPMS Light Indicator Status

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.

Benefits of Properly Functioning TPMS
  • TPMS Saves You Money
    Not only can underinflated tires reduce the life of your tires, it can also cost you at the pump! Properly inflated tires save the typical passenger car 9.32 gallons of fuel every year (according to NHTSA).
  • TPMS Keeps You Safe
    Approximately 250,000 vehicle crashes are caused by underinflated tires each year—nearly 700 crashes every day (according to NHTSA).
  • TPMS Helps Your Car Perform
    Proper tire pressure improves the way rubber meets the road by optimizing traction, handling, steering, stability, braking and even the life of your tires.
  • TPMS Reduces CO2 Emissions
    Properly inflated tires improve gas mileage, meaning the gallons of fuel you save directly translate to reduced carbon emissions.
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.GANGLE-TPMS-4-Pack-Multi-Application-Sensor-Assemblies (1)
