Question 1

How to install the TPMS Sensor and transmitter on Toyota Highlander?

Accepted Answer

The installation of a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter begins with inserting it through the valve installation hole on the inside of the rim so that its printed side becomes visible. Observation of the valve and transmitter must confirm normal appearance with no visible defects and foreign objects should be free from the inner grommet while the rim hole area needs to remain clean. Upward installation of the valve and transmitter can lead to their damage because both devices won't transmit signals quickly at high speeds. The ID number needs recording prior to installation in cases of new valve and transmitter use because ID registration within the ECU follows installation. Position the washer at the rim front side and apply torque to 4.0 Nm (41 kgf-cm / 35 in-lbf). Avoid additional tightening after reaching the torque value. Inspect both the washer and nut for foreign substances before changing the valve and transmitter by using new grommets together with new washers and nuts. All parts around the rim hole should remain free of oil as well as water and lubricants in order to prevent incorrect installation. Ergonomically place the wheel disc on the mounting machine while installing the lower tire bead until the main body of the valve and transmitter fit safely into the specified shaded zone. The installation of the upper bead must avoid compressing the valve and transmitter during the process. Check for tire leaks with soapy water after reinflating your tire then you can securely tighten the valve nut to the recommended torque measurement. The installation of front and rear wheels needs to follow a torque setting at 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). You should install the grand spare tire if it applies. Record the transmitter ID while performing the inspection of tires. Testing the tire pressure warning system should be the final step to verify proper system functionality.

Question 2

How to remove the TPMS Sensor and Transmitter on Toyota Highlander?

Accepted Answer

A technician must start the Tire Pressure Warning Valve and Transmitter removal process by taking off both front and rear wheels while also removing the Grand Spare Tire if present. To begin remove air by taking out the valve core and cap from the tire. After releasing enough air from the tire you should detach the washer and nut that preserves the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter until it drops into the tire cavity. Save all the removed items including the cap valve core and nut and washer for replacement. To disengage the bead use the shoe of the tire remover while protecting the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter from damage. To access the bead you must first remove it from the upper tire section as normal before extracting the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter from the tire after releasing its lower bead just like the other side. The replacement of tire pressure warning valves requires new grommets and washers along with the new parts.
