Removal

  1. Remove the valve core and deflate the tire.
  2. Remove the tire bead from the wheel using a tire changer.
    • The tire bead should be broken approximately 90° from the valve side of the wheel. The bead breaker should not be set too deep.
    • Avoid contact between the tire/tool and the valve when dismounting.
    • Dismounting should end near the valve.
  3. Rotate the wheel clockwise.
  4. Check whether the valve (silver valve stem part) has moved from its original position during transport. Then make sure the valve (metal brackets) is installed in a position offset from the original position.
  5. Insert the valve into the specified location (for metal brackets, install inside) to prevent the valve from shifting from the specified location when tightening. Apply the specified torque (8 N·m) and do not reuse the nut.
  6. Insert the valve into the valve hole so that the sealing washer contacts the rim.
  7. Hold the body with two fingers and push the valve in the axial direction of the valve with one finger.
  8. The laser marking on the body must be visible.
  9. When the valve is fully inserted so that the sensor contacts the rim, begin tightening the wheel nut while holding the hands in position.
  10. While maintaining the position of the valve and sensor, install the nut.
  11. Apply soap or tire lubricant to the upper and lower tire beads.
  12. To install the lower bead, position the sensor at the 5 o'clock direction from the head on the tire changer.
  13. Place the tire on the rim so that the lower bead contacts the rim edge behind the sensor (6 o'clock direction). Rotate the rim clockwise and press the tire at the 3 o'clock position to install the lower bead.
  14. After the lower bead is on the tire, rotate the rim until the sensor is at the 5 o'clock direction from the head on the tire changer. Press the tire at the 3 o'clock position and rotate the rim clockwise to fit the upper bead.
  15. Inflate the tire until both beads seat properly.
  16. If a TPMS sensor malfunctions, the TPMS sensor must be learned. Replace the faulty sensors with new ones and perform the TPMS sensor learning procedure.

Inspection

TPMS Sensor Installation Post-Check Procedures
  1. The sealing washer must be compressed against the outer edge of the hole.
  2. The lower part of the valve must be positioned at the specified location (without metal brackets).
  3. The body must contact the rim surface at at least one or more points.
  4. The installed height of the body bead must not exceed the height of the chin.
  5. Connect the self-diagnosis connector (16-pin) located at the bottom of the driver's side trim panel to the self-diagnosis device, then turn the self-diagnosis device on after turning the ignition key on.
  6. On the GDS vehicle selection screen, select "Vehicle Model" and "TPMS", then press "OK".
Diagnostic Procedure Using the Scan Tool: The main contents of the scan tool diagnostic procedures are as follows:

Diagnostic Procedure Using the Scan Tool

The following section describes how to diagnose malfunctions using the scan tool.
  1. Connect the scan tool to the diagnostic link connector (16-pin) under the protective cover on the driver's seat side, then turn the ignition on to activate the scan tool.
  2. In the GDS vehicle type selection menu, select "Vehicle Type" and "TPMS System", then select "OK". [Initial screen for sensor ID registration]

    • Make sure the sensor ID read matches the recorded sensor ID.
    • After the sensor is successfully registered, go to the "Sensor Wireless Information" item to confirm that the sensor is operating correctly.

    [Sensor Measurements during Preparation]
    • In North America, the cable is measured separately.
    • In the domestic/common (European) area, the cable is measured without separation.

    [Sensor Status]
    • Check each sensor component to make sure it operates correctly.
    • Replace any tires or sensors that do not operate properly, go to the sensor registration procedure, and check that they function correctly.
