The tire pressure sensors are installed together with the air valve on the rim. The sensor consists of a pressure sensor, a communication circuit, an acceleration sensor and a battery.

NOTE:

Special procedures are required for removing the tire from the rim depending on vehicle model and tire type. This is to prevent damaging the sensor. See the specific mechanical information instruction under REPAIRING/REMOVING, REPLACING AND INSTALLING.
