Before installing the tire pressure sensor, clean the mating surfaces on the sensor and the wheel.
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) does not extend beyond the protrusion (F) on the wheel to prevent the sensor housing from being caught on the bead of the tire when assembling the tire.
