2008 Toyota Solara Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter assembly should be inserted into the valve installation hole from the inside of the rim to show the printed surface while checking for noticeable damage, deformation, and foreign matter on the inner grommet and around the rim hole. An upside-down valve and transmitter installation might result in damage while simultaneously disrupting high-speed signal transmissions. Note down the ID number whenever installing new valves and transmitters because their registration with the ECU must be done after completion. Fitting the washer from the rim position requires a torque tightening of 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) with a check for any foreign matter on the washer and nut. On-site inspection of the rim hole and components should be done and new grommets should replace damaged parts. The mechanic should check for any oil or water near the installation points because these substances could cause installation errors. Place the wheel disc onto the mounting machine while positioning the main body components of the valve and transmitter inside the shaded area to avoid interference. The installation process of the upper tire bead should avoid applying any clamping force to the valve along with the transmitter. Release the air from the tire before reopening the valve nut and torquing it to 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) while inspecting for air leaks by applying soapy water. Use a torque wrench of 103 Nm to bolt both front and rear wheels while installing the grand spare wheel if equipped. You must first check the tire then record its transmitter ID before finishing with the inspection of the tire pressure warning system.
