TPMS Sensor

The TPMS sensor contains a Lithium-ion battery that generates dangerous substances when experiencing severe mechanical damage so immediate water flushing for fifteen minutes followed by medical assistance becomes essential. A physician needs to be contacted immediately if a person swallows a TPMS sensor battery and the correct safety procedures must be used for disposing of hazardous materials with these sensors. The sensor installation requires using a sensor of identical color to the previous sensor since different colored sensors do not share compatibility. The sensor operates independently of both the strap and cradle so installation and removal are possible without any attachment detachment. You should begin by removing the tire from the wheel while taking the necessary steps to protect the sensor locking clip from damage with a pocket screwdriver before carefully detaching the sensor from the cradle. Reinstall the sensor into the cradle until it properly seats and produces a clicking sound when it reaches the correct position. Put a new locking clip into the sensor and direct its orientation properly while achieving complete seating. It is essential to activate a new TPMS sensor before tire mounting since the product comes with battery saving enabled. The activation process consists of pumping the tire to its recommended pressure and waiting 2 minutes before starting the training sequence.

The Lithium-ion battery contained in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor produces dangerous chemicals in extreme mechanical damage situations. Patients should perform water flushes on their eyes or skin contacts for 15 minutes then seek medical help immediately. Consumers should contact medical assistance at once if a TPMS sensor battery gets swallowed. TPMS sensors must be disposed through proper hazardous material procedures because each sensor exists in distinct color-based applications and new sensors must have matching colors to the removed ones due to non-interchangeability between different colored sensors. The sensor operates independently from the strap or cradle system so it can be installed without their removal. First detach the tire from the wheel while avoiding harm to the sensor locking clip through the use of a large screwdriver and limited force application. With help from a pocket screwdriver or similar tool detach the sensor from the cradle by removing its locking clip and then separate the sensor. When installing the sensor you must ensure it fully enters the cradle until it produces a clicks sound to indicate proper positioning then transfer the hinge end of the sensor to the hook end of the cradle and push down the opposite end. To install the new locking clip successfully it must face the proper direction since full seating requires correct alignment but check that both the sensor is completely in place and the locking clip has the right orientation. Place the tire on the wheel before activation of the new tire pressure sensor through tire mounting and recommended pressure inflation which requires a minimum two-minute waiting period before starting sensor training.

The sensor must be fully seated in the cradle, producing a "click" sound when correctly positioned.
