  Q: How to remove the TPMS Sensor and Transmitter on Toyota Solara?

  A:

  The first step to uninstall Tire Pressure Warning Valve and Transmitter requires removal of wheels on both front and rear positions as well as Grand Spare Tire (if it exists). The next step releases air from the tire by removing the valve core and cap but later separates the nut and washer to secure the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter for them to fall inside the tire. Preserve each component of the removed cap together with the valve core and nut as well as the washer. Use the shoe of the tire remover to separate the tire bead but be cautious not to damage the valve or transmitter when they encounter the tire bead during this process. Continue to remove the bead from the upper side in the normal way followed by retrieving the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter from the tire before normally removing the bead from the lower side. Inspections should be performed for grommet cracks or damage until replacing the component if damages are detected.

  Q: How to install the TPMS Sensor and transmitter on 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.
