Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

First steps for servicing the Tire Pressure Sensor include installing a new sensor grommet to stop air leaks while also avoiding removal of the valve stem core. First separate the wheel and tire assembly after which the components need to be removed according to the direction guides. The installation process should be done by following the removal steps in reverse order while training the tire pressure sensors. The tire pressure must be set to levels that appear on the safety certification sticker which is found on the driver door jamb. Before installing the sensor retainer nut check if the valve stem core was taken out because a new nickel-plated core replacement minimizes tire pressure loss from corrosion. Remove the sensor retaining nut when the valve stem points to the 6 o'clock position then drop the sensor inside the tire. The process of tire bead separation must occur with the valve stem mounting hole facing the 6 o'clock direction. An appropriate tire machine should separate both bead halves from the wheel to set up the tire-wheel assembly on the turntable with the valve stem hole located at 270 degrees from the mounting/dismounting fixture. Start by indexing the valve stem alongside wheel weight locations before applying tire lubrication to bead edges. Then proceed with dismounting the outer tire bead from the rim. During tire mounting make sure the tire bead stays stationary relative to the rim before you apply lubrication to install the outside bead onto the rim.

Question 2

What Precautions Should Be Taken When Handling a TPMS Sensor with a Lithium-Ion Battery on Mercury Mariner?

Accepted Answer

The TPMS sensor contains a Lithium-ion battery that could leak hazardous chemicals during severe mechanical damage thus requiring immediate eye and skin water flush for 15 minutes followed by medical assistance. Seek immediate physician attention if a person swallows the battery. The correct hazardous material disposal methods need to be applied to TPMS sensors disposal because improper handling can cause serious physical injuries. A newly installed sensor must have the same color as the discarded sensor because sensors with different colors cannot be substituted for each other. Users can install and remove the sensor without needing to detach either the strap or cradle part. The first step involves tire removal from the wheel yet you must exercise caution while using small screwdrivers to eliminate any chance of harming the sensor locking clip. A pocket screwdriver together with a similar tool can separate the sensor locking clip before you safely detach the sensor from the cradle. Check that the sensor has complete cradle insertion because the correct seating produces a distinctive click noise. Place a new locking clip into the sensor until it reaches the correct orientation but verify that the sensor is in the correct position if full insertion is challenging. You need to put the tire onto the wheel and remember that a newly shipped tire pressure sensor must be activated through wheel installation along with tire mounting and recommended pressure inflation. Proceed with the sensor training sequence only after the passing of at least two minutes.
