  Q: What Are the Essential Safety and Installation Procedures for a TPMS Sensor on Mercury Mountaineer?

  A:

  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.

  Q: How to Service and Repair the TPMS Sensor on Mercury Mountaineer?

  A:

  The tire pressure sensor servicing process begins by disassembling wheels and tires followed by installation of a new grommet seal to avoid air leakages. The procedure requires avoiding removal of the tire valve stem core for tire pressure relief. Replacement of the original valve stem core is necessary whenever the removal occurred after tire service. Using a damaged core can cause tire pressure loss from corrosion events. The tire pressure release process requires the sensor retaining nut's removal while pushing the sensor into the tire thus maintaining the valve stem at the 6 o'clock position. A suitable tire machine should be used to dismount tire beads while placing the valve stem hole at 270 degrees from the mounting fixture and writing valve stem and wheel weight locations before applying tire bead lubricant. You should both remove the tire pressure sensor and dispose of its grommet. Proper installation of the tire pressure sensor valve stem requires users to prevent damage by ensuring both correct and incorrect nut tightening as well as the replacement of the sensor grommet. Place tire lubrication along both the inside and outside beads before mounting these tire beads onto the rim and continue by pushing the tire sidewall to install the sensor while tightening the nut. Attach the air chuck straight onto the valve stem to prevent damage by using the Ford-recommended round head air chuck and inflate according to the pressure listed on the driver door jamb safety certification sticker. Complete the setup by installing the wheel with tire along with training the tire pressure sensors.
