• Q: How to service the TPMS Sensor and Transmitter on 2007 Toyota Solara?

  A: Starting the service of the Tire Pressure Warning Valve and Transmitter begins with front wheel then rear wheel removal and additional removal of the Grand Spare Tire if present. The air removal process starts by extracting both valve core and cap and proceeding with nut and washer removal to free up the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter for dropping into the tire. This operation needs delicate bead disengagement using the shoe tool from the tire remover while maintaining transmitter and valve integrity to successfully extract components from the tire where you must verify grommet condition and change it out if damage is present. Window technicians must insert the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter through the valve installation hole into the interior of the rim where the printed side should be visible without any foreign objects or deformations present. Use 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 inch lbs.) torque to tighten the washer and nut while monitoring the area for absence of oil and water and all lubricant. To build a tire on the mounting machine set the wheel disc then place the lower tire bead and correctly position both the valve and the transmitter while avoiding any interference before installing the upper bead without clamping. Inflate the tire before retightening the valve nut to its specified torque value and use soapy water to check for air leaks. The front and rear wheels should be reinstalled following a torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) while the Grand Spare Tire receives attention if present. Examine the tire before proceeding to record the transmitter ID while verifying the operation of the tire pressure warning system. Disposal requires the following steps when removing the battery from the tire pressure warning valve subassembly through prying its back cover off with a screwdriver and severing the two battery terminals from the base board before proper battery disposal. This assembly functions using a lithium battery.
