Tesla Model S: Wheel Sensor - TPMS (Remove and Replace) - Installation
Installation
-
Clean and inspect the wheel and valve hole.
Remove any dirt, burrs, or swarf.
-
Install the valve retaining screw to the wheel
sensor.
Note: Ensure that
the square faces are parallel with the slot in the sensor.
-
Screw the valve onto the sensor screw. Ensure
that the valve screw is free to move in the slot.
-
Position the sensor and valve to wheel and
loosely secure it with the retaining nut.
-
Holding the sensor firmly against the inside of
the wheel, tighten the valve retaining nut.
-
Baolong TPMS: Torque 5 Nm.
-
Continental TPMS: Torque 8 Nm.
Note: Before the
full torque is reached, an internal break off ring will
"give". Continue to tighten the nut until the full torque is
achieved.
-
Inspect the sensor location; both feet should
be in contact with the wheel. If the sensor is not firmly located it
should be reinstalled using a new valve and screw.
-
Apply a suitable lubricant to each tire bead.
-
Secure the wheel on the tire machine with the
front facing up. Position the wheel so that the valve is opposite of
the mounting head and then place the tire on the wheel and bring the
mounting head down to the wheel.
-
Push the lower tire bead over the wheel and
mounting head. Rotate the machine so the last part of the bead fits
over the wheel just before the valve.
Note: Ensure that
the tire bead does not slip on the wheel during
removal/installation.
-
Reposition the wheel and tire so that the valve
is opposite of the mounting head.
-
Push the upper tire bead over the rim and
mounting head. Rotate the machine so the last part of the bead fits
over the wheel just before the valve.
Note: Ensure tire
bead does not slip on the wheel during removal/installation.
-
Ensure that the tire bead is correctly located
between the sensor and the wheel.
-
Inflate the tire until both the tire beads are
seated on the wheel. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended
pressure and install the valve cap.
