Tire Pressure Monitor Valve Replacement

Remove the valve core and cap, and release the air from the tire.

After ensuring that a sufficient amount of air has been released, remove the nut and washer that are used to secure the tire pressure monitor valve sub-assembly and drop the sensor inside the tire.

HINT:

Keep the removed cap, valve core, nut and washer.

After dropping the tire pressure monitor valve sub-assembly into the tire, disengage the bead using the shoe of the tire remover.

NOTICE:

Be careful not to damage the tire pressure monitor valve sub-assembly due to interference between the sensor and tire bead.

Remove the bead on the upper side.

Take out the sensor from the tire and remove the bead on the lower side.

Remove the inner grommet from the tire pressure monitor valve sub-assembly.

HINT:

Check that there is no cracks or damage on the grommet. If necessary, replace the grommet, the washer and the nut.

Insert the tire pressure monitor valve into the valve installation hole. Insert it from the inside of the rim so that the print surface can be seen.

NOTICE:

1. Check that there is no visible deformation, damage or other abnormalities on the transmitter.
   
2. Check that there is no foreign matter on the inner grommet and around the rim hole.
   
3. If installed in the reverse direction, the tire pressure monitor valve sub-assembly may be damaged or fail to transmit signals when the vehicle is driven at high speeds.
   

Install the washer on the tire pressure monitor valve sub-assembly from the rim side and tighten the nut.

Torque:

4.0 N*m{41 kgf*cm, 35 in.*lbf}

NOTICE:

1. Check that there is no foreign matter on the washer and nut.
   
2. If the tire and tire pressure monitor valve sub-assembly have been removed, check that there is no damage or cuts visible, and no foreign matter, such as mud, dirt or sand attached to the grommet. Replace the grommet with a new one if any of the defects mentioned above are found.
   
3. Check that there is no oil, water or lubricant around the rim hole, tire pressure monitor valve sub-assembly, washer and nut. Failing to do so may result in improper installation.
   

After the tire is inflated, the valve nut may be loose. Retighten the nut to the specified torque and then check for air leaks with soapy water.

Torque:

4.0 N*m{41 kgf*cm, 35 in.*lbf}

Set the wheel disc to the mounting machine and install the lower tire bead. Position the main body of the sensor in the shaded area as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:

If the sensor is positioned outside this area, it will interfere with the tire bead and may be damaged.

Install the upper bead.

NOTICE:

Make sure that the tire bead and tool do not interfere with the main body of the sensor and that the sensor is not clamped by the bead.

Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.
