  4. Insert an anti rotation pin through the cross-drilled hole in the valve stem (1).

    5. Object ID: 4091492
  5. Hold the valve stem (3) to prevent it from rotating, then remove and DISCARD the bolt (1) from the tire pressure indicator sensor (2).

    6. Note: Do not twist the tire pressure indicator sensor to remove.

  6. Pull the tire pressure indicator sensor (2) straight off the valve stem (3).
  7. Cut the inner seal off the valve stem (3).

    8. Caution: Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment. Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to peel from the wheel.

  8. Remove and DISCARD the valve stem (3) by pulling it through the rim using a valve stem removal tool.
  9. Clean all sealing surfaces.
Installation Procedure

    Note: Never install the tire pressure indicator sensor on unapproved wheel rims.

    Note: Whenever the Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor is removed from the rim, install a new valve stem and a new bolt. Do not reuse the old parts.

    Note: The tire pressure indicator sensor is supplied assembled to a NEW valve stem. They must be separated before installation.

  1. Remove the NEW bolt (3) from the tire pressure indicator sensor (2) and pull it straight off the NEW valve stem (1).
  2. Apply lubricant to the NEW valve stem (1). Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers

    3. Object ID: 4091492

    Note: Valve stems and bolts are single use items.

  3. Using a tire pressure valve stem mounting tool, pull the valve stem (3) through in a direction parallel to the valve hole on the rim.

    4. Note: Ensure the flat surfaces of the tire pressure indicator sensor and the tire pressure valve stem are located correctly.

  4. Rotate the valve stem (3) by hand to align the tire pressure indicator sensor (2).

    5. Note: Do not tighten the bolt at this stage.

  5. Assemble the tire pressure indicator sensor (2) to the valve stem (3) and install the NEW bolt (1) hand tight.

    6. Object ID: 4091495
  6. Insert an anti rotation pin through the cross-drilled hole in the valve stem (1).

    7. Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution.

  7. Hold the valve stem (1) to prevent it from rotating and tighten the bolt to 1.4 N·m (12.4 lb in).

    8. Object ID: 3969280
  8. Check the valve stem (1) to ensure that it is fully seated on the rim (2) as follows:
    • The rim hole edge has to be completely in the notch of the valve stem.
    • The valve and the rim hole have to be concentric.

  9. Make sure that there is a parallel gap between the valve stem (1) and the tire pressure indicator sensor (2).

    10. Object ID: 5190024

    Note: The tire pressure indicator sensor must NOT be in contact with the wheel.

  10. When correctly positioned there will be a parallel gap between the tire pressure indicator sensor (1) and the wheel.

    11. Note:

    • Tire pressure indicator sensors are shipped in the OFF mode. The sensor will exit its OFF state when the tire is inflated.
    • The tire should not have contact with the tire pressure indicator sensor during installation to prevent damage to the tire pressure indicator sensor.
