Tire Pressure Sensor: Notes
CAUTION:
To prevent moisture and contamination from entering the valve stem, the cap used on this valve stem contains an "O" ring seal. Retain original valve stem cap for reuse. A regular valve stem cap cannot be used as a substitute. After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt entry into the valve stem, which could damage the wheel rim sensor.
CAUTION:
The valve stem used on this vehicle is made from aluminum, and the core is nickel-plated brass. Retain original valve stem core for reinstallation. Do not substitute a valve stem made of a different material, as the different metals will cause corrosion.
CAUTION:
Any time a sensor is to be installed in a wheel, a new seal, the cap and the valve core must be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
CAUTION:
DO NOT reuse sensor-to-wheel grommet. Always use a new grommet when installing a pressure sensor and properly torque the sensor nut.
