  Q: How to install the TPMS Sensor and transmitter on Scion tC?

  A: Install the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter by putting the assembly into the valve installation hole of the rim from its inside position so the printed side becomes visible. Visible signs of damage or foreign compounds should be checked both on the inner grommet and around the rim hole since improper installation will result in damage or high-speed signal transmission failures. The ID number of new valve and transmitter assemblies should be recorded before installation because ECU registration becomes necessary after the devices are installed. The next step is to position the washer from the rim side and apply torque of 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) to the nut while avoiding additional torque after reaching the specified limit. Check the grommet for defects and foreign matter because replacement is necessary if it shows any faults. Proper installation requires complete absence of oil water and lubricant near the installation area. Set the wheel disc on the mounting machine for bead installation then position the valve transmitter main body inside the shaded area to avoid interference with further components. Press the upper tire bead into place while making sure it prevents any clamp around the valve and transmitter. Apply soapy water to check for air losses before tightening the valve at its specified torque. The installation process for front and rear wheels demands proper torque of 103 Nm when performed. Complete the registration process of the transmitter ID as you check the tire pressure warning system to verify correct functioning.
