Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement: Removal

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2011 Honda Ridgeline, and 2010 Honda Ridgeline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Each tire pressure sensor contains a lithium anode battery that is not removable. The complete tire pressure sensor should be disposed of according to local battery disposal guidelines or requirements. An improperly disposed of battery can be harmful to the environment.
  1. Raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS ).
  2. Remove the wheel with the faulty sensor.
  3. Remove the tire valve cap and the valve core, and let the tire deflate.
  4. Remove any balance weights, and then break the bead loose from the wheel with a commercially available tire changer (A).
    NOTE: 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 (B) is 90 degrees from the bead breaker (C) as shown.
    • Do not position the bead breaker of the tire changer too close to the rim.

  5. Position the wheel so the tire machine (A) and tire iron (B) are next to the valve stem (C) and will move away from it when the machine starts. Then remove the tire from the wheel.
