Tire Pressure Sensor: Removal

  1. Raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
  2. Remove wheel with faulty sensor.
  3. Remove tire valve cap and valve core, and let the tire deflate.
  4. Remove any balance weights, and then remove the tire from the wheel with a commercially available tire changer. Note these items to avoid damaging the tire pressure sensor:
    • Do the outside of the wheel first.
    • Position the wheel as shown so the valve stem is 90 degrees from the bead breaker. See Fig 1.
    • DO NOT position bead breaker of tire changer too close to the rim.
    • Position the wheel so the tire machine and tire iron are next to the valve stem, and will move away from it when the machine starts. Then remove the tire from the wheel. See Fig 2.
  5. Remove the valve stem nut (A) and the washer (B), then remove the tire pressure sensor with valve stem (C) from the wheel. See Fig 3.
  6. Remove and discard the valve stem grommet (A) from the tire pressure sensor. See Fig 4.
    NOTE: The valve stem grommet might stay in the wheel; make sure to remove it.
