Honda Pilot: Tire Pressure Sensor Removal and Installation

Removal

NOTICE

Each tire pressure sensor contains a lithium anode battery that is not removable. The complete tire pressure sensor should be disposed of according to local battery disposal guidelines or requirements. Improper battery disposal can be harmful to the environment.

1. Vehicle - Lift

2. Wheel with the Faulty Tire Pressure Sensor - Remove

3. Tire Pressure Sensor - Remove

1. Remove the tire valve stem cap and the valve stem core to deflate the tire.
2. Remove any balance weights.
3. Break the bead loose from the wheel with a commercially available tire changer (A).

NOTICE

Note these items to avoid damaging the tire pressure sensor:

• Do the outside of the wheel first.
• Position the wheel as shown so the valve stem (B) is 90 degrees from the bead breaker (C) as shown.
• Do not position the bead breaker of the tire changer too close to the rim.

4. Position the wheel so that the tire machine (A) and the tire iron (B) are next to the valve stem (C), and will move away from it when the machine starts.
5. Remove the tire from the wheel.

6. Remove the valve stem nut (A) and the washer (B).

   NOTE: Check the nut and the washer; if they are deteriorated or damaged, replace them with new ones during reassembly.

7. Remove the tire pressure sensor with the valve stem (C).

8. Remove and discard the valve stem grommet (A).

NOTE:

• The valve stem grommet might stay in the wheel; make sure you remove it.
• Always use a new valve stem grommet whenever the tire pressure sensor has been removed from the wheel, or when replacing the tire.

Installation

1. Tire Pressure Sensor - Install

NOTE: Use only wheels that have a ''TPMS'' stamp (A) on the inside or outside of the wheels.

1. Before installing the tire pressure sensor, clean the mating surfaces on the sensor and the wheel.
2. Install the tire pressure sensor (A).
3. Install the washer (B) and the valve stem nut (C).

   NOTE: Install the tire pressure sensor so that the sensor housing surface (D) is below the protrusion (E) of the wheel to prevent the sensor housing from being caught on the bead of the tire when installing the tire. Be sure to always mount the tire pressure sensor with the feet (F) in the downward position toward the wheel.

4. Tighten the valve stem nut to the specified torque while holding the tire pressure sensor.

NOTE:

• Do not use air or electric impact tools to tighten the valve stem nut.
• Do not twist the tire pressure sensor to adjust its position with the wheel, as this will damage or deform the valve stem grommet.

5. Lube the tire bead sparingly with a paste-type tire mounting lubricant, and position the wheel so that the tire machine (A) is next to the valve stem (B) and will move away from it when the machine starts.
6. Install the tire onto the wheel.
7. With a dry air source, inflate the tire to 300 kPa (3.06 kgf/cm2, 43.5 psi) to seat the tire bead to the rim.

   NOTE: Make sure the tire bead is seated on both sides of the rim evenly.

8. Adjust the tire pressure.
9. Install the valve stem cap.
10. Check and adjust the wheel balance.

2. Wheel with the Tire Pressure Sensor - Install

3. Tire Pressure Sensor ID - Memorize

1. Connect the HDS, and memorize the tire pressure sensor IDs. Do not memorize the IDs automatically.
