2008 Toyota Avalon Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the TPMS Sensor and transmitter on 2008 Toyota Avalon?

  A: You should place the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter inside the valve installation hole within the rim so its printed surface faces outward. The installation should be checked for visible deformation and damage and foreign matter along the inner grommet and around the rim hole because improper installation may damage the signal transmission system. Record the identification number of new valve and transmitter before installation then register it inside the ECU after setup. The washer should be installed from the rim side where a 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) torque will tighten the nut while inspecting for foreign matter on both components. Check for any damage or foreign materials on both the tire and valve components before deciding if grommet replacement is needed. The installation process requires avoidance of all oil water and lubricants near the rim hole and components to prevent incorrect mounting. Set the wheel disc on the mounting machine before you install the lower tire bead while placing the main body of the valve and transmitter within the designated shaded area to keep out of range from interference. The upper bead installation requires no clamping. Check for tire leaks using soapy water after you apply recommended torque to the valve nut and finish the inflation process. Use a torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf) to install each front and rear wheel and when equipped with a grand spare include its installation. First inspect the tire before moving onto recording the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID and performing an inspection of the tire pressure warning system.
