• Q: How to install the TPMS Sensor and transmitter on 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: Start the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter installation by putting a new inner grommet into place because new units usually come with their own grommet. Place the valve installation hole from inside the rim and insert the valve with transmitter so the print surface remains visible. Inspection for visible damage to the grommet together with the rim hole area is needed since bad installation practices may cause high-speed failure of signal transmission at high speeds. You need to make note of the new ID numbers before valve and transmitter installation since ECU registration becomes necessary afterward. This procedure requires installing the washer and nut from the rim side while tightening them to 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) with no foreign matter in the area. A new grommet needs installation when the tire and valve must be replaced. The installation process requires avoiding all contact between oil, water or lubricant substances near the rim hole or its components. Position the valve transmitter main body along with its main body directly into the marked shade during tire mounting to prevent tire bead obstruction. The installation of the upper bead must happen carefully to prevent bead clamping. The tire valve core needs installation followed by tire inflation where you must retighten the nut to 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) if loose and test for leaks using soap solution. Put the specified tire pressure into effect then place the valve cap on top. You should apply torque of 131 Nm (1336 kgf-cm, 97 ft-lbf) when installing the front and rear wheels. Check the tire for appropriate condition before marking down the transmitter ID. Following restorations check that the Data List shows an accurate readout of tire pressure.
