Scheme 13: Removal Procedure

Raise the vehicle on a suitable support. Refer to «LIFTING AND JACKING THE VEHICLE»(ref-652230-S26645367622014082300000) .
Remove the tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle. Refer to «TIRE AND WHEEL REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-652234-S18162824462014082300000) .
Dismount the tire from the rim.
WARNING: Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment. Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to peel from the wheel. NOTE: When servicing the tire pressure sensor always use a new tire pressure monitor (TPM) and a new TORX screw during installation. Remove the TORX screw (1) from the tire pressure sensor (2) and pull it straight off the tire pressure valve stem (3).
Remove the tire pressure valve stem by pulling it through the rim.

Scheme 14: Installation Procedure

Refer to «FASTENER CAUTION»(ref-652229-S20487768742014082300000) NOTE: Ensure the flat of the valve, lines up with the flats of the snap in the enclosure. Assemble the tire pressure sensor (2) to the valve stem and install the NEW TORX screw (3). Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) valves and TORX screws are one-time use only.
WARNING: When mounting the tires, use an approved tire mounting lubricant. DO NOT use silicon or corrosive base compounds to lubricate the tire bead and the wheel rim. A silicon base compound can cause the tire to slip on the rim. A corrosive type compound can cause tire or rim deterioration. Apply tire soap to the rubber portion of the valve stem (1).
NOTE: Snap Fit TPM sensors are still shipped in the OFF mode. However, the TPM no longer needs to be spun to remove it from the OFF mode. The sensor will exit its OFF state when the tire is inflated. The technician can then program the vehicle as normal. Using a tire valve stem mounting tool, pull the valve stem through in a direction parallel to the valve hole on the rim.
Mount the tire to the rim.
Install the tire and wheel assembly on the vehicle. Refer to «TIRE AND WHEEL REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-652234-S18162824462014082300000) .
Lower the vehicle.
Program the tire pressure sensors. Refer to «TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR SENSOR LEARN»(ref-652234-S39792139642014082300000) .
