• Q: How to Remove and Install a TPMS Sensor on 2006 Chrysler Crossfire?

  A: Begin by removing the tire or wheel from the car and then take out each balancing weight without relying on harsh cleaners that might damage the surface of your wheel. Store the valve stem cap, because it keeps the piston sealed and reattach the nickel plated brass core to maintain it from rusting. Also, take off the cap at the valve stem and get rid of the core using the proper tool. Let the tire deflate to show the seal, then unscrew the nut that connects the pressure sensor/transmitter to the hub and toss the sensor/transmitter into the tire. Be careful while separating the tire beads so you don't accidentally damage the outer part of the wheel. First, use the tire changer's technique to release the upper part of the bead, then dismantle that side, while leaving the lower bead and tire intact to access the pressure sensor/transmitter inside the tire. Pull the wheel in an upward direction to disconnect the pressure sensor/transmitter. When you install the valve, pop in the grommet and clean the seal around it to make sure it is dry. Attach the tire pressure sensor/transmitter securely to the wheel with the special nut, tightening it to 4 N-m or 35 in. lbs. as you hold the sensor so it doesn't move onto its sides. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, place the upper bead of the new tire against its matching upper surface on the wheel, inflate to the needed pressure and place the original replacement valve stem cap. Use soap on the valve stem to check for leaks, set the tire/wheel balance the right way and fit it onto the vehicle again. Afterwards, reprogram the Tire Pressure Sensor/Transmitter to the TPM module and make sure the system is working properly by plugging in the DRB III to the vehicle, driving at 40 km/h (25 MPH) for at least 2 minutes and noticing the operation of all the Tire Sensors.
