REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE FRONT TIRE
2. REMOVE REAR TIRE
3. REMOVE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR VALVE
(a) Remove the valve core and cap, and release air from the
tire.
(b) After ensuring that air is sufficiently released, remove the
nut and washer that are used to fix the tire pressure moni-
tor valve sub±assy and drop the sensor inside the tire.
HINT:
Keep the removed cap, valve core, nut and washer.
(c) After dropping the tire pressure monitor valve sub±assy
into the tire, disengage the bead using the shoe of the tire
remover.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the tire pressure monitor valve
because of interference between the sensor and tire bead.
(d) Remove the bead on the upper side.
(e) Take out the sensor from the tire and remove the bead on
the lower side.
(f) Remove the inner grommet from the tire pressure monitor
valve sub±assy.
HINT:
Check that there are no cracks or damage to the grommet. If
any damage is found, replace the grommet together with the
washer and nut.
4. INSTALL TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR VALVE
(a) Insert the tire pressure monitor valve into the valve instal-
lation hole. Insert from the inside of the rim so that the print
surface can be seen.
NOTICE:
Check that there is no visible deformation, damage or
other abnormalities on the transmitter.
Check that there is no foreign matter on the inner
grommet and around the rim hole.
