Pacific PMVE002 Flex-Sens TPMS Transmitter Installation Guide

WARNING

Before using the Flex-Sens, read and review all instructions and warnings related to the installation and the use of it. Installation is to be done by professionals only. The Flex-Sens (“TPMS”) Tire Pressure Monitor System product is to be used for the replacement of factory installed TPMS or replace non-working TPMS. The TPMS assemblies are meant for the promotion of safety in line with the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) TPMS Ruling No. 138 requirements and regulation of the TPMS. Failure to follow the listed installations methods and warnings below may result in the failure of the Flex-Sens to operate properly.

CAUTION

Each TPMS Flex-Sens is a multi-selectable Sensor that has multiple vehicle applications programmed inside them, manufactured to operate in a specific motor vehicle make, model and year using the proper frequencies (315 MHz or 434 MHz) to communicate with the motor vehicle TPM System. Only install TPMS Flex-Sens multi-selectable sensor designated for your specific motor vehicle make, model and year. Improper TPMS installation or the use of unauthorized TPMS Sensors will cause the motor vehicle TPM System to fail to operate properly. Do not install TPMS Flex-Sens multi-selectable sensor(s) in damaged wheels, upon completion of installation, test the motor vehicle TPM System using procedures described in the original manufacturer’s service guide to confirm proper installation. If the TPM System fails to operate properly, check all installation procedures to ensure proper installation and retest. If the TPM System continues to fail to operate, immediately consult with an authorized motor vehicle dealership or Pacific Manufacturingʼs technical support team.

These TPMS Flex-Sens multi-selectable sensor assemblies are designed and manufactured to operate in Original Equipment (OE) wheels and tires only. If Original Equipment wheels and/or tires are not used, the TPM System and the low tire inflation warning threshold of your vehicle’s TPM System may not function or may function incorrectly. If the Original Equipment wheels and/or tires are not used, it is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure that the TPMS is working correctly. Refer to the original Equipment manufacturerʼs vehicle service guide for instructionʼs including the warning thresh hold reset procedure and seek the assistance of an authorized vehicle dealer to ensure that the TPM system, including system compatibility with the non-Original Equipment Wheels and/ or tires, is working properly. The vehicle owner expressly assumes sole and complete responsibility for the TPMS and vehicle function if the Original Equipment wheels and tire are not used. Failure to ensure that the TPMS is working correctly can result in sever injury or death.

Installation and handling methods, procedures

Clamp-In Installation Warning!

1. Interference with rim (prior confirmation)
   • The rim shape should conform to “Dimensions regarding TPMS rim mounting” (our technical data TPMS-0639).
   • Check that the rim A, A’parts and nuts, washers, and nut tightening tools do not interfere.
   • Check that the rim B part and the TPMS transmitter do not interfere.

2. Suitable for mounting
   • Please attach the TPMS transmitter in the direction shown below. Please do not turn it upside down and attach it.

3. Forget washers
   • Be sure to attach a washer when mounting the TPMS transmitter to the rim

Snap-In Installation Warning!

The transmitter should be installed to a valve hole as the direction indicated in Fig. 1, it is necessary that a sensor body and a rubber valve do not interfere with the wheel. Please check part A and part B. If the sensor body or the rubber valve interferes with the wheel, it may cause air leakage.

• Shapes of a valve hole on wheels should be a minimum of 16 millimeters as follows in Fig. 2.
• No Edges and Burris, and Round or Chamfer inside the valve holes need to avoid damages to the valves.
• Around the valve holes, provide a flat area. If the flat area is small, it will be caused not only deterioration of airtightness but also abnormal deformation and damage of the rubber valves.
