WARNING: The valve seal and steel washer must be replaced every time a tire is changed to eliminate the risk of seal failure. The seal and washer must also be replaced when the sensor is removed. Unscrewing the sensor mounting nut is regarded as removing the sensor itself. The cap must always be on the valve, except when inflating a tire, releasing pressure or checking tire pressure.
NOTE: If the sensor is replaced with «working» wheel, the identification data of the new sensor will be obtained after the first drive. If the sensor on the spare tire is replaced, the identification code of the new sensor must be programmed into the tire pressure monitoring system module (TPMS), using diagnostic equipment prescribed by Land Rover. The identification code is located on the sensor kit packaging label and is also printed on the body of each sensor.
