IMPORTANT: Before removing or installing, check which generation of tire pressure control electronic wheel modules are fitted (see BMW Spare Parts Catalogue).

If the electronic wheel module has been removed, the complete valve must be replaced.

These instructions describe how to install the (old) 2-time operating valves. These can be used if still in stock.

See 1-TIME OPERATING VALVES .

NOTE: There are two different electronic wheel modules. The SP303 electronic wheel module must be used with RDC-01 and RDC-02 from model year 03/06.

The Gen3 electronic wheel module must be used with RDC-LC from model year 09/09.

If a tire sealant has been used, replace the electronic wheel module.

When a tire has been removed, do not clean the rim with installed electronic wheel module with high-pressure cleaner.

Before the installation of new wheel electronics with valve, thoroughly clean the valve bore of the wheel rim.

Do not treat electronic wheel module with solvents, cleaning agents etc. If dirty, wipe with a clean cloth only.
