Tools and materials you will need:
Valve core tool Torque wrench Tire changer (or access to one) TPMS scan or programming tool (if required) Jack and jack stands or a liftStep 1: Safety first
Park the vehicle on a flat surface, turn off the ignition, and engage the parking brake. Loosen the lug nuts on the tire you're working on, then lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
Step 2: Remove the tire
Loosen the lug nuts and take them off, then carefully lift the wheel away from the hub. Use a valve core tool to remove the valve core and fully deflate the tire.
Step 3: Break the tire bead
Use a tire changer to separate the tire from the rim. Take care to oid causing any damage to the tire or wheel.
Step 4: Remove the old TPMS sensor
If an old sensor is present, use a tire valve core tool to carefully remove it. Be gentle to prevent any damage to the valve stem.
Step 5: Install the new TPMS sensor
Gently insert the new sensor's valve stem into the rim. Tighten the retaining nut to the manufacturer's torque specification (usually around 4 Nm or as recommended). Make sure the sensor is seated properly and does not move.
Step 6: Remount the tire
Use the tire changer to remount the tire onto the rim. Inflate the tire to the specified pressure and make sure the bead is properly seated.
Step 7: Reinstall the wheel
Mount the wheel back onto the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to spec.
Step 8: Program or relearn the sensor
Some TPMS sensors require programming or relearning via a TPMS scan tool, and pre-programmed tire pressure sensors don't need manual programming. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the specific TPMS relearn instructions. In some cases, the vehicle will automatically detect the new sensor after a short drive.
