Installation (Non-SRT8 Models)

NOTE: If replacing tire pressure sensor, a new valve stem will be pre-mounted to the sensor as an assembly. Verify that the sensor is positioned properly before seating the valve stem. If replacing a valve stem only (using the existing tire pressure sensor), the new valve stem will include a new tire pressure sensor mounting screw. Always use a new mounting screw when attaching a sensor to a valve stem.

CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, an new valve stem assembly must be installed to ensure air tight sealing.

Wipe area clean around sensor. valve stem mounting hole in wheel (4). Make sure surface of wheel is not damaged. See Figure
Insert valve stem (2) through wheel (4) and pull through to seat with standard valve stem installation tool. See Figure
If replacing the valve stem (2) only, verify that the flat sides of the brass extension on the bottom of the valve stem (2) are at a 90 degree angle with the wheel. Position the pressure sensor (1) over the brass extension, install the retainer screw (4) and tighten to 1.4 N.m (12 in. lbs) See Figure
Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to the following to avoid damaging tire pressure sensor:
- Rotating Wheel Tire Changers
  
  Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor valve stem (2) approximately 280° from the head of the changer in a clockwise direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads. See Figure.
- Rotating Tool Tire Changers
  
  Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem is approximately 210° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool once the tool is mounted for tire installation. See Figure. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead breaker area to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool in a counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads.
- Adjust air pressure to specification. Make sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor. Install wheel and tire assembly on vehicle.
- Drive vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID code and will clear any DTCs automatically. If a sensor cannot be trained, see appropriate manufacturer service information.
