Before you begin

Read first. Work safely.

  • warningProfessional equipment requiredTire service can cause serious injury. Use professional tire-service equipment. If you are not trained, have a tire shop install the sensor.
  • warningFully deflate the tireRemove the valve core and confirm the tire is fully deflated before breaking the bead. Keep tire tools away from the sensor and valve stem.
  • importantRelearn may be requiredA pre-programmed sensor may still need a vehicle-specific relearn to register its ID with the vehicle.

01

Verify Fitment

Match the vehicle year, make, model, sensor frequency, and OE part number. Compare the new sensor and valve stem with the original.

02

Test the New Sensor

Use a compatible TPMS tool to trigger the new sensor. Confirm its frequency, sensor ID, and signal. If the tool cannot read it, stop and contact VELDUROVEL support.

03

Record the Current Readings

Scan every wheel and record the sensor IDs and pressure readings. Note which wheel needs service.

04

Remove the Wheel & Deflate the Tire

Remove the wheel as directed in the service manual and note its position. Remove the valve cap and core. Confirm the tire is fully deflated before breaking the bead.

05

Locate the Sensor

Find the valve stem and sensor position inside the wheel. Keep the bead breaker and tire tools away from that area.

06

Dismount the Tire

Follow the tire machine manufacturer’s sensor-safe procedure. Do not let the tire bead press against or strike the sensor or valve stem.

03InstallInstall the new sensor

Install

Install the new sensor

Clean the valve opening and pull on the valve stem only—never on the sensor body.

Clean the valve opening and pull on the valve stem only—never on the sensor body.

07

Remove the Old Sensor

Remove the old sensor and valve stem after the tire is safely off the wheel. Use a new TPMS service kit or new valve and sealing components as specified for the sensor. Do not reuse old sealing parts.

08

Inspect the Wheel

Clean the valve opening and the area around it. Stop if corrosion, sharp edges, or damage could prevent a good seal.

09

Seat the New Sensor

Apply an approved tire-mounting lubricant to the rubber valve stem. Attach the correct valve-stem puller and pull the stem straight through the valve hole. Do not pull on the sensor body. Confirm that the valve stem is fully seated.

Mount, Inflate & Check for Leaks

Mount the tire while keeping tools away from the sensor. Inflate it to the cold pressure shown on the vehicle placard on the driver’s-side doorjamb or in the owner’s manual. Balance the wheel and check the valve stem for leaks.

11

Relearn & Verify

Follow the vehicle’s relearn procedure to register the new sensor ID. Then confirm that each sensor reports normally and that the dashboard TPMS warning light turns off.

Important — relearn may still be requiredPre-programmed does not mean the vehicle learns the sensor automatically. Follow the relearn procedure for your exact vehicle after installation.
