• Q: How to replace the TPMS Sensor on 2005 Cadillac SRX?

  A: A suitable vehicle support enables replacing the Tire Pressure Sensor through first removing tire/wheel assemblies from the vehicle. You should position the sensor's cap and valve on a clean surface before tire dismounting but only use aluminum caps alongside nickel-plated valves to stop corrosion. To pry the tire bead away from the wheel you should direct the bead breaking fixture at a 90 angle relative to the valve stem followed by gently pushing a tire iron or pry bar counterclockwise of the sensor body to lift the tire bead past the mounting and dismounting head. The tire machine helps the operator move tire/wheel assemblies in a clockwise direction to move tire beads outside the wheel rim before taking off the tire. Users must thoroughly remove all tire sealant residue from both the wheel surface and tire before moving on to remove the sensor components. Wipe away all dirt and debris from the grommet area before directing the sensor's air passage away from the wheel when you install it through the wheel hole. When installing the sensor nut position the sensor body at a right angle to the wheel's interior surface before tightening it to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs.). When replacing the tire position your mounting/dismounting head at 180 degrees to the valve stem and set the bead transition area 45 degrees left of the valve stem. You should begin by rotating the tire/wheel combination clockwise during bead transfer to the wheel rim interior before repeating this action on the outer bead before wheel installation. Service replacement tire pressure sensors enter the market in OFF mode but require the motorized rotation of tire/wheel assemblies to at least 20 mph (32 km/h) speeds for ten seconds to set their internal roll switch to the closed position. Learning of tire pressure sensors completes the installation process after the tire/wheel assembly is fitted onto the vehicle and then the vehicle is lowered.
