  Q: What Should You Know About TPMS Sensor Installation and Disposal on Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A: 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.
