Tire Pressure Sensor: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2009 Ford RV Cutaway, 2009 Ford Econoline, 2009 Ford E450 Super Duty, 2009 Ford Cutaway, and 2008 Ford RV Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Tire pressure sensors are manufactured in multiple colors based on their application. When installing a new sensor, make sure the color of the sensor being installed matches the color of the sensor that was removed. The different colored sensors are not interchangeable.
CAUTION:
The tire pressure sensor is mounted to the wheel 180 degrees opposite of the valve stem, and is held in place by a stainless steel strap. Valve-mounted and strap-mounted tire pressure sensors are not compatible. Swapping wheels from one vehicle to another with the different systems will adversely affect TPM system operation.
NOTE:
Tire pressure sensors are equipped with Lithium-ion batteries, and must be disposed of accordingly.
NOTE:
Tire pressure sensor can be removed and installed without removing the strap or cradle.
