There are two types of tire pressure monitoring systems; the first measures the air pressure directly with a tire inner tube sensor that is placed inside of the tire. The second measures the pressure indirectly by using other facets of the vehicle's performance to determine when the air pressure is too low. In either case, the system will inform you of when the total pressure has dropped to an abnormally low level.
Tools and Materials
Hydraulic jack and jack stands
A tire pressure monitoring system kit
A screwdriver
Tire cleaning supplies
A tire balance machine
Prepare the Vehicle
Begin by mounting the vehicle up on the jack stands so that you'll have room to remove the tires. Remove the tires and bleed all of the air from them, and then remove the air valves from each of the four wheels.
Install the Sensors
Each of the different sensor components will be assigned to a particular wheel. In order to get an accurate reading of your tire pressure from the monitoring system, it's important that you match up the wheels and the tire sensors appropriately. When you've determined which sensor goes where, attach the sensors using the adhesive in the installation kit. Use the screws that come with the kit to further attach and strengthen the sensor connection.
Adjust the Sensors
Move the sensors slightly so that they each fit securely and flush against the wall of the inside of the tire. By placing each sensor adjacent to the tire inner tube, you'll ensure that it gets a good reading and prevent any damage to the sensor. Clean out the tire to prevent any other damage.
Balance and Replace the Tires
Use your tire balance to test each tire once again to be sure that it is ready for the road, then replace each tire in its appropriate position on the wheels of the car.
