WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lexus SC 430. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- IN CASE OF REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF INFLATION PRESSURE SENSOR
- When installing a tire, make sure that the inflation pressure sensor does not interfere with the tire bead so that damage to the sensor is prevented.
- After completing the operation, remove the valve core to rapidly release air and check that the warning light is lit. If not, the system may be defective.
- When replacing the inflation pressure sensor, replace it with the one which has the same identification paint color.
- If there is air leakage, tighten it with 3.0 N.m (31 kgf.cm, 27 in.lbf). If the air is still leaking, replace the grommet together with the washer and nut.
- When installing the tire pressure monitor valve sub-assy, check whether the rim, grommet, washer and nut are clean.
- IN CASE OF TIRE AND WHEEL REPLACEMENT OR TIRE ROTATION
- When replacing tires, be sure to check if the grommet of the tire valve is damaged or not. If so, replace the grommet together with the washer and nut.
- When tires and wheels are replaced, register the transmitter ID without fail.
