TPMS Sensor

A Lithium-ion battery inside the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor can release hazardous substances upon severe physical damage thus requiring immediate water flushing for 15 minutes together with quick medical help. Fast consultation with a physician should occur if someone swallows a TPMS battery and discarding the sensors requires proper hazardous waste protocol. It is essential to use sensors of matching colors when replacing a sensor because sensors available in different colors cannot function with each other. You may add and remove the sensor to its strap or cradle without complete removal. Start by taking out the tire from its wheel position with caution to prevent harm to the sensor or cradle or strap during mounting or dismounting of the tire. A pocket screwdriver should be used to detach the sensor from the cradle after removing the sensor locking clip by applying no more than enough pressure to avoid sensor damages. When installing the sensor you must verify it reaches the proper cradle position because it will generate a distinct "click" audio. You should position the new locking clip correctly before completely inserting it into the sensor. The tire mounting process requires activating the new tire pressure sensor through tire inflation to recommended pressure and waiting at least two minutes before starting the sensor training steps.

The replacement Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor must have the identical color as the initially removed one because different sensor colors imply non-interchangeability. The installation and removal process of the sensor occurs without removing the strap or cradle while proper Lithium-ion battery disposal remains essential. Clear the tire from its wheel position with careful attention to sense locking clip integrity by using both small and large screwdrivers but applying no more than necessary force. A pocket screwdriver and similar instruments should be used to unclip the sensor locking clip and release the sensor from its cradle before you completely remove it. Pay attention when assembling the sensor to apply moderate force because high pressure might harm the sensor. The sensor needs to be entirely seated in the cradle for proper positioning which produces a "click" sound when it fits correctly. Put a fresh locking clip onto the sensor while keeping it in the right orientation and check that the sensor rests correctly before insertion. Install the tire on the wheel while keeping in mind that the fresh tire pressure sensor requires activation by wheel application and subsequent tire mounting and recommended inflation. Allow the sensor training to begin only after a minimum 2-minute waiting period passes.

Service technicians must use matching sensors for Tire Pressure Monitoring System by using sensors that possess identical colors to the ones being replaced. The sensor can be installed and removed from its cradle without detaching the strap while proper Lithium-ion battery disposal methods must be followed. Safe sensor removal starts by dismounting the tire from the wheel while keeping both a large screwdriver and excessive installation pressure at bay to protect the sensor locking clip. To take off the sensor you need to first remove its sensor locking clip using a pocket screwdriver or other similar tool and then disconnect it from the cradle structure before taking out the sensor itself. Excessive force should be minimized when the sensor is in the assembly process to avoid damaging it. The sensor needs to be completely installed into its cradle until the cradle produces a distinctive "click" notification that indicates correct placement. Insert the sensor hinge part into the cradle hook end then push the opposite cradle end down. Check the sensor positioning along with the locking clip direction because incorrect placement should result in full insertion failure. When replacing the locking clip users need to place the tire on its wheel and make sure the sensor is activated through tire pressure inflation for 2 minutes before moving onto sensor training procedures.

A Lithium-ion battery used in Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors can release dangerous substances during extreme mechanical damage to sensors; thus it is essential to immediately flush any affected skin or eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek medical help for both eye exposure and swallowing of the sensor. Proper hazardous material disposal procedures need to be followed during TPMS sensor disposal to prevent severe personal injury. New sensors must possess the identical color as removed sensors because sensors of different colors cannot work together. The sensor installation process requires neither removing the strap nor the cradle. Wheels require the tire to be detached first before proceeding with minimal force using a pocket screwdriver for the sensor locking clip and wheel removal. The sensor locking clip can be taken off using a pocket screwdriver until the cradle releases the sensor for complete removal. During assembly fully position the sensor in the cradle until it clicks into place before inserting the hinge end into the hook end while gently pushing the opposite end down. Special attention must be paid to sensor locking clip orientation during its insertion into the device because the clip can fit correctly only when positioned properly. It is essential to remember that the new tire pressure sensor requires activation through tire inflation to recommended pressure after mounting since it is shipped in battery saver mode. Beginning the sensor training procedure should happen after a 2-minute wait.

Having a Lithium-ion battery inside the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor creates a hazard for toxic material discharge when severe mechanical damage happens to it so immediate water flushing for 15 minutes with subsequent medical help becomes essential. The process of disposal for TPMS sensors demands suitable procedures for hazardous materials to protect against potential serious harm. Users need to verify that the new sensor includes the same color as the replaced unit since various colored sensors operate independently of each other. The sensor installation process enables removal and replacement of the unit without requiring users to take off either the strap or cradle. Remove the tire from its wheel position while handling it properly according to instructions because damage risks exist for the sensor alongside the cradle and strap. A pocket screwdriver or comparable tool should gently separate the sensor locking clip yet the user should avoid using a large screwdriver to stop locking clip destruction. After obtaining the sensor from the cradle using the same tool you should detach and discard the sensor. To assemble the sensor position it fully into the cradle until you hear the clicking sound indicating proper alignment and then mount the hinge part into the hook section of the cradle by pressing down on the opposing end. Place the locking clip correctly while inserting it into the sensor until it settles completely. The tire installation procedure requires inflating the tire to recommended pressure before starting the sensor training because new sensors arrive in battery saver mode.

Insert the hinge end of the sensor into the hook end of the cradle and push down the opposite end.

Ensure it is oriented correctly; if it cannot be fully inserted, check that the sensor is properly seated.

Different colored sensors are not interchangeable.

Contact a physician right away.

Ensure the locking clip is oriented correctly for full insertion.

Immediate flushing with water for at least 15 minutes and prompt medical attention are necessary.
