What is the method for installing a tire pressure monitor?

Installation method for tire pressure monitor: 1. Unscrew the dust cap of the air valve and put on the dust cover; 2. Install the hex nut, then install the tire pressure sensor; 3. Use a nut wrench to tighten the sensor, and the installation of the tire pressure sensor is complete. Functions of tire pressure monitoring: 1. Prevent accidents; 2. Extend tire service life; 3. Reduce wear on vehicle components. The working principle of tire pressure monitoring is: The sensor installed on the tire monitors the tire's pressure and temperature in real time, transmits the data wirelessly to the receiver, displays the data changes on the display to alert the driver, and issues an alarm when the tire leaks or the pressure changes exceed safe limits.
I installed a tire pressure monitoring system a while ago, opting for the built-in type because it's more accurate and durable. I drove straight to the tire shop where the technician removed all four tires, mounted the sensors onto the wheel rims, then reinflated and balanced them to prevent vibrations. After installation, the display module was paired and mounted on the dashboard to show real-time tire pressure. During testing, they slightly deflated a tire to check if the warning light activated—such thoughtful service. The whole process took just over an hour and cost around a thousand yuan, but it's worth the safety upgrade, significantly reducing the risk of blowouts on highways. Remember to periodically calibrate the system and replace the batteries (about every two years). I wouldn't dare dismantle the tires myself, fearing damage to the sealing rings and potential air leaks—better leave it to professionals for peace of mind.
