PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL TIRE PRESSURE WARNING VALVE AND TRANSMITTER

(a) Using a T10 "TORX" socket wrench, install the tire pressure monitor sensor to the new tubeless tire valve with a new bolt.

Torque:

1.2 N·m {12 kgf·cm, 11 in·lbf}

(b) Install a new grommet to the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.

NOTICE:

A new tire pressure warning valve and transmitter comes with a grommet installed. Make sure not to install an extra grommet.

(c) Write down the 7-digit transmitter ID number shown in the illustration.

*a Printed Surface *b 7-digit Transmitter ID Number

(d) Insert the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter with grommet from the inside of the rim. NOTICE: Make sure that the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is installed so that the printed surface can be seen. If the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is installed upside down, it may be damaged or fail to transmit signals when driving at high speeds. Check that there is no deformation or damage to the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. Check that there is no foreign matter on the grommet and around the rim hole.

NOTICE:

No further tightening is required once the nut is tightened to the specified torque.

(l) Check the surroundings of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter for air leaks with soapy water or equivalent.

(1) If air is leaking from the valve core, press the valve core several times to remove foreign matter. Replace the valve core as necessary.

(2) If air is leaking from around the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, check if the grommet, washer and nut are not deformed, damaged or contaminated with foreign matter. Replace the grommet, washer or nut as necessary.
