DISASSEMBLY
NOTICE: Failure to follow the instructions below may result in damage to the TPMS.
NOTICE: The TPMS sensor is mounted to the valve stem. Removal of the valve stem requires dismounting the tire from the wheel and removal of the TPMS sensor.
NOTE: Use only the Digital Tire Pressure Gauge any time tire pressures are measured to be sure that accurate values are obtained.
1. Remove the wheel and tire. Refer to: Wheel and Tire (204-04A Wheels and Tires, Removal and Installation).
2. NOTICE: The valve stem is connected to the TPMS sensor. Do not pull the valve stem from the
wheel, or damage to the sensor will occur.
NOTE: If a new TPMS sensor is being installed, remove and discard the valve stem-to-sensor screw and the sensor.
Remove the valve stem core and fully deflate all air from the tire.
3. NOTICE: Do not allow the tire beads to move beyond the wheel mid-plane (middle of the wheel)
when separating the beads from the wheels, damage to the TPMS sensor may occur.
NOTICE: Tire and valve stem position is critical to prevent damage to theTPMS sensor when using a paddle-type bead separator.
NOTE: Some machines may have a nylon roller bead separator at the 12 o'clock position instead of the paddle-type bead separator at the 3 o'clock position.
For a paddle-type tire machine, position the valve stem at the 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock position and the paddle at the 3 o'clock position. For a roller-type tire machine, align the valve stem with the roller at any position.
NOTE: Paddle type shown, roller type similar.
