Removing
1. Raise the car with a jack and place it on stands.
WARNING: It is strictly forbidden to work inside or under a vehicle supported only by a lift (jack). In all cases, the car must be installed on safety stands.
2. Loosen the 5 wheel nuts and remove the wheel.
WARNING: Never use a high pressure cleaning tool on wheels with TPM system sensors installed.
3. Remove the tire from the rim.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the TPM system sensor, the tire bead must be pressed against the opposite side of the wheel valve.
4. Remove the wheel valve from the disc and save the washer.
5. Carefully remove the TPM sensor from the rim.
CAUTION: If a wheel sealant was used, the TPM system sensor must be replaced.
CAUTION: If the sensor has been removed, the wheel valve must also be replaced.
Installation
1. Clean the surface of the TPM system sensor filter (on the back of the sensor).
CAUTION: If the sensor filter is dirty, it must be replaced.
CAUTION: Do not use compressed air to clean the sensors in the TPM system. Do not clean the sensor with various solvents or cleaning agents. Use only clean dry rags.
2. Install the Torx bolt and adapter onto the sensor, tighten the bolt with your fingers.
3. Carefully install the TPM system sensor on the rim, install the washer and wheel valve, tighten the valve to 3.5 Nm.
CAUTION: Do not exceed torque setting. This will damage the sensor.
4. Insert the guide supplied with the valve into the adapter.
5. Make sure the sensor is in the correct position in the rim and tighten the Torx bolt to 3.5 Nm.
CAUTION: Do not exceed torque setting. This will damage the sensor.
6. Remove the rail from the adapter.
7. Install tires and balance wheels.
8. Reinstall the wheel and tighten the nuts to 140 Nm.
9. Remove props and lower the car.
10. The initialization process must be performed in the following cases:
- The tire pressure has been adjusted.
- The TPM sensor has been replaced.
- The location of the wheel has been changed, i.e. the wheels have been rearranged or a spare wheel has been installed.
11. To initialize the TPM system, turn the ignition key to position "II", press and hold the TPM system button until the message SET TIRE PRESSURE appears on the instrument panel (approximately 4 seconds). The system has been initialized.
NOTE: On some vehicles, the message TIRE PRESSURE SET may appear, which is a notification that the system has been initialized.
