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

  A: To install the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, thread it into the valve installation hole by entering from inside the rim while exposing the print surface. Inspect the transmitter for any visible deformations or damage as well as any abnormalities before checking forregunta matter that might be on the inner grommet and rim hole area. Instillation of valve and transmitter components through their backward orientation at great speed has the potential to create operational damage and signal disruption. New valve and transmitter installation requires ID number documentation before installation because registration into the ECU needs to be performed afterwards. After installing a new washer from the rim side on the valve and transmitter thread the nut to 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) while verifying no foreign particle affects the washer or the nut. The grommet should be replaced when damage or foreign matter is discovered during tire replacement when the valve and transmitter need removal. The area surrounding the rim hole together with the valve and washer and nut should be free from oil, water or lubricant because their presence may result in improper assembly. You should reapply the valve nut with the correct torque specification followed by a check for air leaks using soapy water. Install the lower tire bead while placing the main body of the sensor inside the designated shaded area on the mounting machine for preventing interference. When placing the upper bead ensure both the tire bead and tool remain separate from the sensor position. You should torque the front wheel to 103 Nm and the rear wheel torque should match at 103 Nm. Checks on the tire will involve registering the transmitted ID and also includes the testing of the tire pressure warning system.
