  Q: How to Prepare for Reinstalling a TPMS Sensor on Chrysler Sebring?

  A:

  Before you put in an old sensor, clean and replace the small piece over the sensor valve base and the circular metal washer there. Brush the zone around the sensor/valve stem area in wheel 5, so the surface doesn't get damaged. Be sure to hold down the back of the metal valve stem 2 with your finger while you put sensor 1 into the axle, so the liquid held inside the sensor doesn't spill on the floor. Install the sensor nut (which should have the washer pressed in) by hand and push sensor housing 2 downward before tightening to ensure it is level with the wheel's inside shape. When the sensor is in place, tighten the sensor nut up to 8 Nm without overdoing it by more than 12 Nm which may separate the sensor from the valve stem. Installing a tire for a rotating wheel changer, place the sensor valve stem 2 on the tire so that it is 210° from the top of the changer and clockwise, whereas for the rotating tool changer, position sensor valve stem 1 so it is 210° clockwise from the mounting support 2 and clear of the lower bead breaker area 3. Adjust the air pressure of your tires by following the instructions on the port label located on the driver's side B-pillar and be sure to install the original style and color valve stem cap to protect the sensor from moisture. Install assembly 1 onto the vehicle and secure the wheel mounting nuts to a torque of 3 to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.), then bring the vehicle back down. The easiest way to make the system know the new sensor ID is to use the TPM-RKE Analyzer tool, Special Tool 9936, with the Scan Tool to put it into the WCM/SKREEM, but you can also do it by driving the vehicle at speeds above 15 mph (24 km/h) for at least 10 minutes after it has stood still for at least 20 minutes. If you cannot train the sensor, you should use the proper diagnostic information.
