Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Removal Procedure
- Raise the vehicle on a suitable support. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
- Remove the tire/wheel assembly from the vehicle. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
- Dismount the tire from the rim. Refer to Tire Dismounting and Mounting .
- NOTE:
When servicing the tire pressure sensor always use a new Schrader® tire pressure monitoring (TPM) sensor 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.
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.
