DEMOUNTING/MOUNTING PROCEDURES

CAUTION: e tire should be demounted from the wheel using the tire changer manufacturer’s instructions. Use the following information to avoid damage during the demounting/mounting procedures. Also ensure there is no metalized film or any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows, as this may cause poor reception of the signals from tire pressure sensors and the TPMS will not function properly.

NOTE: When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel or tire pressure sensor or low tire pressure warning control unit is replaced, the tire pressure sensor must be registered. See RESET PROCEDURES.

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR

CAUTION: Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into tires, as this may cause a malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.

Removal

1. De ate the tire. Unscrew the transmitter retaining nut and allow the transmitter to fall into tire; 2. Gently bounce the tire so that the transmitter falls to the bottom of the tire. Place the wheel and tire assembly on the tire changing machine and break both tire beads. Ensure that the transmitter remains at the bottom of the tire while breaking the bead; 3. Turn the tire so that the valve hole is at the bottom and gently bounce the tire to ensure the transmitter is near the valve hole. Carefully li the tire onto the turntable and position the valve hole and transmitter 270 degrees from the mounting/dismounting head. (See Figure 3); 4. Lubricate the tire well and remove the top side of the tire.

Reach inside the tire and remove the transmitter. (See

Figure 4.); 5. Remove the second side of the tire, as normal.

Installation
