When using used tire pressure monitoring sensors, check the connection between the sensor and the valve for damage.

For safety reason, replace the tire pressure monitoring sensor and clean the rim after using tire sealant.

Do not clean the tire pressure sensors with steam jet cleaners or strong compressed air.

-- Insert the sensor -2- with the new seal and sealing washer through the rim from the inside and press the seal into the valve bore. Make sure the valve shaft is in the center inside the valve hole.
