<TPMS ANTENNA (REAR)>

CAUTION

• Do not drop the TPMS antenna.
• TPMS antenna should not be exposed to temperatures above 105°C (221°F).
• If any TPMS antenna is replaced, execute "Tire Pressure Sensor ID Registration" on scan tool

MB991958 "Special Function" to check the receiver function.

Pre-removal Operation
• Upper Quarter Trim and Lower Quarter Trim Removal

(Refer to GROUP 52A, Trims

P.52A-8

Post-installation Operation
• Lower Quarter Trim and Upper Quarter Trim Installation

(Refer to GROUP 52A, Trims

P.52A-8

).

• Receiver Function Check by Executing "Tire Pressure

Sensor ID Registration" <If a new TPMS antenna is

installed> (Refer to

TPMS TRANSMITTER

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

M1311003800024

CAUTION

• Ensure valve cap is always in place except when adjusting tire pressure.
• If the valve core and valve cap are replaced, use a genuine replacement part. The valve core is

similar to a conventional one, but uses nickel plating to avoid corrosion.

• Relieve tire pressure by removing the valve nut rather than by removing the valve core.
• Replace the valve stem grommet with a new one every five years or when the tire is replaced.
• If you shake the TPMS transmitter, you can hear a rattle, but this is not a failure. It is normal.
• Do not drop the TPMS transmitter from height greater than 1 meter (3.3 feet).
• Do not expose the TPMS transmitter to extraneous magnetic fields.
• TPMS transmitter should not be stored at temperatures above 80°C (176°F).
• TPMS transmitter should not be exposed to temperatures above 100°C (212°F).
• If the TPMS transmitter is replaced, execute "Tire Pressure Sensor ID Registration" on scan tool

MB991958 "Special Function."

Pre-removal Operation
• Wheel and Tire Removal (Refer to

P.31-93

).

Post-installation Operation
• Wheel and Tire Installation (Refer to

P.31-93

).

• Tire Pressure Sensor ID Registration <If a new TPMS

transmitter is installed> (Refer to

P.31-89

).

• TPMS Failure Check (check that the TPMS warning light

does not illuminate or flash).

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

.

<<A>> VALVE CAP/VALVE NUT REMOVAL

CAUTION

Ensure valve cap is always in place except when adjusting
tire pressure.
1. Remove the valve cap.
2. Rotate tire so that valve stem is in the 6 o’clock position.
3. Use a long-reach 17.2 mm (0.68 inch) socket to unscrew the

valve nut a few turns. Slowly push valve stem into tire so
that tire pressure is relieved.

4. Once tire pressure is relieved, remove the valve nut.

.

<<B>> TIRE BEAD/TPMS TRANSMITTER REMOVAL
1. Place on tire changing machine and break both tire beads

ensuring that the TPMS transmitter remains in the bottom of
the tire.

CAUTION

Be careful not to damage the TPMS transmitter.
2. Lubricate tire well and remove outer side of the tire.
3. Reach inside the tire and remove the TPMS transmitter.
4. Remove tire from rim using proper tire changing equipment

procedures.

.

<<C>> GROMMET REMOVAL

CAUTION

Use a soft tool to remove the grommet to prevent scratch-
ing the valve of the TPMS transmitter.
Remove the grommet from the TPMS transmitter.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

.

>>A<< GROMMET/TPMS TRANSMITTER/VALVE NUT
INSTALLATION
1. Slide inner tire bead over rim face. Use lubricant, as normal

procedures require.

2. Install a new grommet to the TPMS transmitter.
