Tire Pressure Sensor: Removal

NOTE: Failure to follow the instructions below may result in damage to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor.
  1. Remove the wheel and tire.
  2. Remove the valve stem core and fully deflate all air from the tire.
    NOTE: The valve stem is connected to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor. Do not pull the valve stem from the wheel, or damage to the sensor will occur.
  3. Remove the tire from the wheel following the tire manufacturer's directions.
  4. Remove the TPMS sensor from the valve in the following sequence. See Fig 1
    1. Using a T10 Torx, remove the valve stem-to-TPMS sensor screw.
    2. Carefully and firmly, pull the sensor straight down and separate it from the valve stem.
  5. Using a suitable valve stem puller and a wood block, remove the valve stem from the wheel.
    NOTE: A new valve stem must be installed whenever a new tire or wheel is installed.
    NOTE: When installing a new wheel, always install a new valve stem and reuse the TPMS sensor from the previous wheel if possible. The TPMS will not have to be trained if the sensor is reused.
  6. If the TPMS sensor is being reused, inspect the TPMS sensor for damage and install new parts as necessary.
