Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Acura TL, 2010 Acura TL, and 2009 Acura TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Use only wheels that have a "TPMS" mark (A) on them
  • The vehicle may be equipped with one of the three types of wheels

  1. Before installing the tire pressure sensor, clean the mating surfaces on the sensor and the wheel
  2. Install the tire pressure sensor (A) and the washer (B) to the wheel (C), and tighten the valve stem nut (D) finger tight Make sure the pressure sensor is resting on the wheel
    NOTE: Install the tire pressure sensor so that the sensor housing surface (E) should not exceed the protrusion (F) of the wheel to prevent the sensor housing from being caught on the bead of the tire when assembling the tire Be sure to always mount the tire pressure sensor with the feet (G) in the downward position toward the wheel

  3. Tighten the valve stem nut to the specified torque while holding the tire pressure sensor
    NOTE:
    • Do not use air or electric impact tools to tighten a valve stem nut
    • Do not twist the tire pressure sensor to adjust its position with the wheel, as this will damage or deform the valve stem grommet
  4. Lube the tire bead sparingly, with a paste-type tire mounting lubricant, and position the wheel so that the tire machine (A) and the tire iron (B) are next to the valve stem (C) and will move away from it when the machine starts Then install the tire onto the wheel

  5. With a dry air source, inflate the tire to 300 kPa (3 1 kgf/cm2 , 44 psi) to seat the tire bead to the rim, then adjust the tire pressure (see WHEEL ALIGNMENT ), then install the valve stem cap
    NOTE: Make sure the tire bead is seated on both sides of the rim uniformly
  6. Check and adjust the wheel balance, then install the wheels on the vehicle
  7. Remove the jack stands, and lower the vehicle Torque the wheel nuts to specification
  8. Connect the HDS, and memorize the tire pressure sensor IDs (see MEMORIZING THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ID )
