TPMS Sensor Repair Procedures

Removal

1. 1
   Remove the tire. (Refer to Wheels/Tires - "Tires")
2. 2
   Remove the screw using a Torx screwdriver (A).

   When installing the parking brake, make sure it does not contact the TPMS sensor. Be careful not to damage the TPMS sensor when installing the parking brake near the TPMS sensor.

   

3. 3
   Remove the sensor housing (A) from the valve (B) in the direction indicated by the arrow.

   

4. 4
   Use the valve installation tool to pull the valve until it is completely out of the lower hole.

   

   Cut the rubber at the bottom of the valve with a knife.

   

5. 5
   Apply lubricant to the surface of the valve, then install it through the wheel valve hole.

   We recommend using ordinary soapy water as a lubricant.

   

   The lower part of the TPMS sensor valve will not be airtight if it is not fully installed on the wheel, as shown in the following illustration: Make sure the valve body is fully inserted into the hole.

6. 6
   Apply soapy water or lubricant to the upper/lower bead of the tire.

   

7. 7
   To install the lower beads, position the TPMS sensor at the 5 o'clock position, starting from the head of the tire changer.

   

8. 8
   Turn the wheel clockwise and press the tire toward the 3 o'clock position to install the lower beads.

   Install the tire on the wheel. Make sure the beads contact the rim edge behind the sensor (in the 6 o'clock direction).

   

9. 9
   To install the upper beads, press the tire toward the 3 o'clock position and turn the wheel clockwise.

   

10. 10
    Inflate the tire until the tire beads are seated properly.

    

11. 11
    Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended tire pressure for the vehicle.
12. 12
    If the TPMS sensor is faulty, the TPMS sensor must be registered. Replace all faulty sensors and perform TPMS sensor registration.

Diagnostic Procedure Using Scan Tool

The main content of the diagnostic procedures using the scan tool is as follows:

1. 1
   Connect the diagnostic link connector (16-pin), located in the lower cover on the driver's side, to the scan tool, then turn the scan tool on after switching the ignition on.
2. 2
   On the GDS vehicle selection screen, select "Vehicle Model" and "TPMS", then press "OK".

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

[System Identification (Wireless)] [Sensor ID Registration (Wireless)] [VIN Input Initialization] [Vehicle Name Input Initialization] [Sensor Status Initialization] [Sensor Registration Initialization]

Write down the ID. Read the ID and be sure to check whether they match. After successful sensor registration, use "Sensor Wireless Information" to determine whether the sensor is operating correctly.
