Installation

NOTE: When installing the tire pressure transmitter, inspect the sealing O-ring at the bottom of the valve stem for any sign of damage or deterioration. Replace O-ring if necessary, before installing the pressure transmitter on the wheel. Also, be sure the surface of the wheel that the O-ring seals against is clean and not damaged.





1. Install the tire pressure transmitter on the wheel.








2. Tighten the tire pressure transmitter mounting nut to a torque of 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.). When torquing the tire pressure transmitter, hold the transmitter so it does not rotate. If the transmitter rotates so the top edge is not level with the wheel, damage to the transmitter will occur when mounting the tire. If the top edge of the transmitter is not level with the wheel it can be rotated into position by lightly tapping it with your hand.

CAUTION: When mounting the upper bead of the extended mobility tire, the required procedure must be used. Not using the specified procedure will result in damage to the wheel and tire.

3. Mount the upper bead of the tire on the wheel.
4. Install the original or an OEM replacement valve stem cap on the valve stem.
5. Using a soap solution, check that no air leak is present where the valve stem mounts to the wheel.
6. Balance the tire/wheel assembly using the correct procedure for using wheel flange mount and stick on wheel weights.
7. Install the tire/wheel on the vehicle.
8. Program the identification code from the new tire pressure transmitter into the receiver. This is done using the DRB III scan tool. Refer to the procedure for programming the tire pressure transmitter in Powertrain Management, Computers and Control Systems, Body Control Module.
9. Verify that the receiver has been programmed with the identification code from the new tire pressure transmitter. Use the DRB III scan tool to look at the receiver's memory for an identification code and the tire pressure thresholds value from the new tire pressure transmitter. If the identification code and tire pressure thresholds from the new tire pressure transmitter are present in the receivers memory the new tire pressure transmitter has been correctly programmed to the receiver.
