Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Clean any dirt or debris from the sensor grommet sealing area of the wheel.
- Insert the sensor in the valve stem hole with the air passage facing away from the wheel.
- Install the sensor nut and position the sensor body parallel to the inside wheel surface while torquing.
Tighten: Tighten the nut to 7 N.m (62 lb in).
- Install the tire on the wheel. Refer to Tire Mounting and Dismounting .
- Install the tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
- Lower the vehicle.
- Learn the tire pressure sensors. Refer to Tire Pressure Sensor Learn .
NOTE:
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid tire pressure sensor damage when mounting the tire back on the wheel, ensure a tolerance is maintained between the tire machine, or irons, tire bead, and the sensor.
