Wheels and Tires: Service Precautions

2006 Toyota Sequoia 4WD V8-4.7L (2UZ-FE)SECTION Service Precautions
PRECAUTION
1. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR VALVE SUB-ASSEMBLY
a. When installing a tire, make sure that the tire pressure monitor valve does not interfere with the tire bead in order to prevent damage to the sensor.
b. After completing the operation, remove the valve core to rapidly release air and check that the warning light comes on. If not, the system may have a defect.
c. If there is air leakage, tighten the nut with a force of 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 inch lbs.) and push the valve core 2 or 3 times to remove any dirt attached to the valve core.
If there is still air leakage, replace the grommet, the washer and the nut all together.
d. When installing the tire pressure monitor valve, check whether the rim, grommet, washer and nut are clean. Use a manufacture-specified cap.
e. When putting air into the tire, first install the tire pressure valve straight onto the stem of the tire pressure monitor valve.

2. TIRE AND WHEEL REPLACEMENT OR TIRE ROTATION
a. When replacing tires, be sure to check if the grommet of the tire valve is damaged. If so, replace the grommet together with the washer and nut.
b. When tires and wheels are replaced, make sure to register the transmitter ID.
