Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement: Installation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Use only wheels that have a "TPMS" stamp (A) on the inside or outside of the wheels.
  • The vehicle may be equipped with one of these 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) is below the protrusion (F) of the wheel to prevent the sensor housing from being caught on the bead of the tire when installing the tire. Be sure to always mount the tire pressure sensor with its 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 the 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) is next to the valve stem (B) 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, and install the valve stem cap.
    NOTE: Make sure the tire bead is seated on both sides of the rim evenly.
  6. Check and adjust the wheel balance, then install the wheels on the vehicle.
  7. Lower the vehicle. Torque the wheel nuts to specifications (see step 2 on HUB BEARING UNIT REPLACEMENT ).
  8. Connect the HDS, and memorize the tire pressure sensor IDs using the TPMS tool (see MEMORIZING THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ID  ).
