Why should tire sealants never be used in a tire on a vehicle with a direct TPMS?
The use of any liquid or tire sealant injected into tires equipped with tire pressure sensors is not recommended and may cause the tire pressure sensors to malfunction.
How do you train the TPMS sensor in a tire?
Train the system sensors in the tires using the following reset sequence starting with the left front tire and following a clockwise order: Left front, right front, right rear, left rear. 6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the left front tire.
What happens if you dont activate TPMS sensor?
If you don’t activate the sensor in the spare tire, the system will give a false read. Alternatively, an active sensor in the spare tire will be recognized by the vehicle, so it may be the source of the warning light as well. Always check the spare tire when servicing TPMS. When changing a tire, you risk damaging a TPMS sensor.
What do you need to know about tire pressure monitoring?
With millions of vehicles expected to need TPMS sensor replacement, it’s important to know what is involved with the replacement, installation and relearn of TPMS sensors. Over the last decade, the introduction of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) has revolutionized the way motorists, shops and manufacturers approach tire maintenance.
Do you need to update tire pressure sensors?
“WARNING: If the tire label shows different tire pressures for the front and rear tires and the vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system, then you need to update the settings for the system sensors. Always perform the system reset procedure after tire rotation.
