Service and repair of the tire pressure sensor requires tire removal from the wheel before proceeding with the mounting strap then counterweight then low tire pressure sensor removal. New low tire pressure sensors must receive replacement with devices having similar colors because sensors' operation remains undisturbed by their position and possess distinct color identifiers. The assembly process should place the low tire pressure sensor and counterweight in correct position on the mounting strap with attention to properly set the sensor on the flat segment of the drop well to prevent damage during tire handling. The drop well of the wheel should receive the sensor and mounting strap with counterweight before applying light pressure on the worm screw. Position the counterweight notch toward the valve stem while putting the tire low pressure sensor 180 degrees away from the valve stem for maximum placement at the center of the flat counterweight drop well surface. Tightening the worm screw to more than 8 Nm (71 inch lbs.) will deform the screw and shorten its lifespan. Complete the wheel mount by securing the mounting strap worm screw at its specified torque value before reattaching the tire.

The procedure to handle tire pressure sensor services and repairs begins with wheel tire removal then proceeds to removing the mounting strap and counterweight along with the sensor. Ensure that the new low tire pressure sensor has the same color as the previous one because sensing units receive their color identification and the pressure warning system remains functional regardless of sensor position. Position the sensor on the flat drop well part before attaching it with the counterweight to the mounting strap to prevent damage when installing and removing the tires. Position the sensor together with its counterweight and mounting strap into the drop well of the wheel before implementing a finger tight tension on the worm screw. Position the tire low pressure sensor at 180 degrees from the valve stem by fully orienting it toward the drop well center point on its flat surface. The notch on the counterweight should align with the valve stem. Excessive tightening force on the worm screw above 8 Nm (71 inch lbs.) should be avoided because it will create screw deformities which result in premature device failure. The process concludes with a torque-specific tightness of the mounting strap worm screw before reattaching the tire to its wheel.
