Section 34 (Tires & Wheels (Service Information)): Tires: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

If replacing tire pressure sensor, a new valve stem will be pre-mounted to the sensor as an assembly. Verify that the sensor is positioned properly before seating the valve stem. If replacing a valve stem only (using the existing tire pressure sensor), the new valve stem will include a new tire pressure sensor mounting screw. Always use a new mounting screw when attaching a sensor to a valve stem.

CAUTION:

Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new valve stem assembly must be installed to ensure air tight sealing.

IF THE TIRE WAS REMOVED FROM THE WHEEL, PERFORM THE PROCEDURE BELOW:

Wipe area clean around sensor/valve stem mounting hole in wheel (4). Make sure surface of wheel is not damaged.
NOTE:
A new valve stem is pre-lubricated for proper installation with a standard tool.

NOTE:
If replacing tire pressure sensor, a new valve stem will be pre-mounted to the sensor as an assembly. Verify that the sensor is positioned properly before seating the valve stem.

Insert valve stem (3) through wheel and pull through to seat with standard valve stem installation tool.
If replacing the valve stem (3) only (using the existing tire pressure sensor), verify that the flat sides of the brass extension on the bottom of the valve stem (3) are at a 90 degree angle with the wheel. Position the pressure sensor (1) over the brass extension (5), install the retainer screw (2) and tighten to the proper. Refer to WHEELS, TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS .
Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturers instructions, paying special attention to the following to avoid damaging tire pressure sensor:

1. Rotating Wheel Tire Changers - Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor valve stem (2) approximately 280° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the outer and inner tire beads.
2. Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1) is located approximately 210° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool (2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the outer and inner tire beads.
3. Adjust air pressure to that listed on tire inflation pressure label (Placard) provided with vehicle (usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
4. Install tire and wheel assembly on the vehicle.
5. Remove the support and lower the vehicle.
6. Perform one of the following to make the system learn the new sensor ID.
7. Use the TPM-RKE Analyzer, 9936, with the scan tool to program the Radio Frequency Hub Module (RFHM) with the tire pressure sensor ID. This is part of the diagnostic verification test. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
8. Once the vehicle has remained stationary for more than 20 minutes, drive vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed above 24 km/h (15 mph). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID. This is part of the diagnostic verification test. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .

NOTE:

If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.
