Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement: Removal

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: 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. An improperly disposed of battery can be harmful to the environment.
  1. Raise and support the vehicle (see LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS ).
  2. Remove the wheel with the faulty tire pressure sensor.
  3. Remove the tire valve stem cap and the valve stem core to deflate the tire.
  4. Remove any balance weights, and then break the bead loose from the wheel with a commercially available tire changer (A).
    NOTE: 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.

  5. 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. Then remove the tire from the wheel.

  6. Remove the valve stem nut (A) and the washer (B), then remove the tire pressure sensor with the valve stem (C) from the wheel.
    NOTE: Check the nut and the washer; if they are deteriorated or damaged, replace them with new ones during reassembly.

  7. Remove and discard the valve stem grommet (A) from the tire pressure sensor (B).
    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.
