Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Honda Odyssey and 2005 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Use only wheels that have a "PAX System" mark (A) on them.
- Assemble the new valve stem (A), new screw (B), and the sensor-transmitter (C).NOTE: Always use a new valve stem and new screw.
- Before installing the tire pressure sensor, clean the mating surfaces on the sensor and the wheel.
- Install the tire pressure sensor (A) to the wheel (B), and tighten the valve nut (C) finger tight. Make sure the pressure sensor is resting on the wheel.
- Tighten the valve nut to the specified torque while holding the tire pressure sensor toward (D) the wheel. You may hear a snap or pop as you tighten the nut. This is normal.NOTE:
- Do not reuse the nuts that had been tightened, even one time, to the specified torque, as they are deformed inside (E).
- Do not use air or electric impact tools to tighten a valve stem nut.
- Tightening the nut beyond the specified torque can damage the nut.
- Make sure that there is no space between the sensor and the wheel.
- Lube the tire bead, and position the wheel so the tire machine (A) and tire iron (B) are next to the valve stem (C) and will move away from it when the machine starts. Then install the tire onto the wheel.
- Inflate the tire to 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2
, 44 psi) to seat the tire bead to the rim, then adjust the tire pressure to front 230 kPa (2.3 kgf/cm2
, 33 psi), rear 240 kPa (2.4 kgf/cm2
, 35 psi), and install the valve stem cap.NOTE: Make sure the tire bead is seated on both sides of the rim uniformly.
- Check and adjust the wheel balance, then install the wheels to the vehicle.
- Remove the safety stands, and lower the vehicle.
- Connect the HDS, and memorize the pressure sensor ID(s) (see MEMORIZING A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ID ).
