Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor (TPMS)
The OEM TPMS Sensors will be reused, but not the OEM valve stems as they are a Snap-in style
which will not mount to the steel wheels supplied with RAFNA Wheel Modification Kit. An
optional kit can be ordered to have the OEM sensor included. A screw-on type valve stem that
is secured to the steel wheel with a nut on the outside of the wheel is required and is
supplied with this kit and is to be used with the OEM TPMS Sensor.
Installation of Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor (TPMS)
1.
Remove the OEM sensor assembly from the OEM wheel. If OEM sensors were ordered with
the kit, skip to step 2.
2.
Remove the OEM valve stem from the OEM TPMS sensor, by removing the screw securing
the valve stem to the sensor, as shown. The valve stem and screw will not be reused.
(Figure 1)
3.
Remove the nut and rubber grommet from the valve stem adapter supplied with this kit,
as shown. The nut and rubber grommet will not be reused. (Figure 2)
4.
Assemble the valve stem adapter to the OEM sensor as shown, using the screw supplied
with the valve stem adapter. It is recommended that the screw be torqued to 12 in-lbs.
(Figure 3 & 4)
5.
Assemble the backer washer and adapter grommet to the valve stem adapter as shown.
(Figure 3)
6.
Attach the TPMS sensor to the 19.5"steel wheel, as shown, using the supplied washer and
hex nut. The valve stem hex nut should be torqued to 25-30 in. lbs. This is to maintain
the proper operation of the sensor and to maintain and air tight seal with the wheel.
