Low tire pressure sensor (Freelander 2)

WARNING: The valve seal and steel washer must be replaced every time the tire is changed to avoid the risk of seal failure. The seal and washer must also be replaced when the sensor is removed. Unscrewing the sensor mounting nut is considered as removing the sensor itself. The valve cap must always be on the valve, except when inflating the tire, releasing pressure, or checking the tire pressure.

NOTE: If the sensor on the working wheel is replaced, the identification data for the new sensor will be available after the first drive. If the sensor on the spare wheel is replaced, the identification code for the new sensor must be programmed into the TPMS module using the diagnostic equipment specified by Land Rover. The identification code is provided on the label on the sensor kit packaging and is also stamped on the body of each sensor.
