How to Remove and Install a Tire Equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring Device?
2 Answers
When removing the tire, avoid touching the valve stem and the tire pressure monitoring sensor to ensure safe detachment. Below is relevant information about tires with pressure monitoring systems: 1. Tire Pressure Monitoring Module: A real-time monitoring and data transmission system installed on tires to measure pressure and temperature, including its internal structure. 2. Tire Pressure Monitoring Device: A simpler tire pressure monitoring system utilizes the existing ABS sensing function to compare the rotational counts of tires. 3. Purpose of Tire Pressure Monitoring Devices: The sensing function compares the rotational counts of tires. 4. TPMS Sensor: The sensor is extremely compact, lightweight, and requires high functionality, hence it can only be designed and manufactured using MEMS technology.
When dismounting and mounting tires with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), I've learned to be extra careful to avoid damaging those little sensors. As a DIY car enthusiast with a full set of tools—including professional tire levers—I always start by safely removing and securing the wheel. Then, I gently pry open the tire bead while keeping clear of the valve-mounted sensor, which is fragile enough to get crushed by mistake. During reinstallation, proper alignment is crucial before securing the wheel, followed by resetting the monitoring system with a diagnostic tool to recognize the new setup. Skipping this step causes erratic readings, making driving uneasy. Once, my carelessness cost me over 500 yuan to replace a broken sensor—a hard lesson. While tools aren't expensive and DIY saves money, it's time-consuming. Beginners should seek experienced help; safety trumps everything.
