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

  A: The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter installation process begins with a new inner grommet yet replacement is unnecessary because they usually include grommets in new units. Insert the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter through the valve installation hole entering from inside the rim so the print surface remains visible. The inner grommet area and rim hole must be free from both incorrect installation and excessive speed-related signal transmission failure as you check for obvious signs of damage and foreign objects such as matter. The process to install a new tire pressure warning valve and transmitter requires a recording of the ID number beforehand because subsequent registration within the ECU needs to be done. Install washer and nut onto tire pressure warning valve and transmitter by tightening them from the rim side to 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf). Also verify that the washer and nut stay free from any foreign contaminants. Users must install a fresh grommet after removing the tire and tire pressure warning valve and transmitter while keeping the rim hole free from all oil, water and lubricating material. Position the tire's main body of the pressure warning component inside shading on the designated area of the mounting machine wheel disc before inserting the lower tire bead. Put the upper bead in position while making sure the valve and transmitter avoid any mechanical contact. First install the valve core. Inflating the tire requires recovering the specified torque of 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) on the valve nut if loose. Use soapy water to check for air leaks. After setting tire pressure at the specified level you should install the caps over the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. Testivate the front and rear tire installation using 131 Nm (1336 kgf-cm, 97 ft-lbf) torque per wheel before fixing the jack-up wheel. Check the tire condition while recording the required transmitter identification number. Inspect the actual tire pressures by checking them on the Data List after all repairs conclude.
