Land Rover Discovery: Wheels and Tires - Tire Pressure Sensor (G2160695) / Removal and Installation

REMOVAL

CAUTIONS:

• Take extra care not to damage the sensor during the removal and refitting of the tire.
• If a new sensor is installed, make sure that the sensor type and frequency is the same as the sensor that has been removed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the system malfunction.

NOTES:

• If the sensor is replaced on a 'running' wheel, the new sensor identification will be learnt when the vehicle is first driven. Note the sensor will only be learnt if the vehicle is driven for a minimum of 8 minutes at a speed exceeding 15kph. If a new sensor is installed to the spare wheel, the identification for that sensor must be programmed into the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) module using Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment. The identification code is printed on the casing of each sensor. To avoid null or under inflated pressure readings for the spare tire the spare tire should be inflated in close proximity to the vehicle, and to the maximum pressure as stated on the placard label for the specific tire size.
• This procedure contains some variation in the illustrations depending on the vehicle specification, but the essential information is always correct.
• This procedure contains illustrations showing certain components removed to provide extra clarity.
