Land / Range Rover TPMS Valves Basic Explanation & How To Replace A Leaking Valve Stem / Seal

In this video we do a brief introduction to the Land Rover / Range Rover Tyre Pressure Monitoring System ( TPMS ) and look how to replace a leaking valve stem. The valve stem can be separated from the actual TPMS sensor so you can replace the valve seals without needing to replace the actual TPMS sensor.LR043162

Just ordering a set to keep in my D4 Landmark, ready for when I next need new tyres. 👍

Lads. Every time I look on KZbin for a HOW TO video and you pop up I just know it will be the best one to watch. You seems to tell me (at least) everything I really wanted to know about the subject. Great work, keep 'em coming, particularly on Land Rover! Many thanks.

Simon, on the Disco 4, there are little antenna's on the inner wheel arch, they collect the data for the wheel they are next to. Part number 4H231A166AA

Simon, you are more entertaining than Jeremy Clarkson!

[@NextLevelDavid]

Hi Simon. My 2021 D300 Defender is fitted with rubber valve stem sensors. These are different to those shown in your video. It caused a bit of confusion for my tyre guy and the dealer parts manager here in Australia. Might be worth noting. we don't know why but its been clarified that both the metal valve sensor of the type you've shown and the rubber stemmed valve with a different sensor are in use. The rubber stemmed version requires the valve stem to be changed every time it is removed as the seal ruptures. All the best and please keep up the great work.

Like a comment from Kenny G on here about 3 years ago I had a TPMS issue with 2014 RRS when upgrading new wheels and tyres fitted with their own sensors. A local LR Main dealer wanted £240 to “code” my new oem alloys with their own tpms fitted. Instead I put the old tpms units from my cars original alloys inside the new upgraded wheels. Sorted for a fraction of the cost by my regular tyre shop. I think our 2014 RRS had issues with probably the newer gen of TPMS units. The tyre shop was new to tpms issues. But said Porsche’s they store winter wheel/tyres for owners just swap straight over no issues. It was three years ago so prob more is known about these devices now like you are doing here. Cheers

[@blade9297]

Thankyou for the video. Our D4 has just started losing 2-3 psi per day, so suspect we have this problem.. As can see nothing causing a puncture.

[@HQBProductions]

Useful again..I had not really thought about how these work....after a recent puncture (am old wheel balance weight punched clean through the tyre) I noted that they did not replace the valve but when buying tyres they do change them BUT I guess reuse the old electronic part and simply fit the valve bits with new washers. Thank you for this! Richard 😃😃😃

[@L663]

Hi Richard - yes it sort of one of those things that most people dont worry about until you need to ! ( me included )

Simon, I bought a set of diamond cut 21" 5085 from a 2019 RRS to replace the 20" standard wheels on my 2014 car. TPMS would not work. I eventually had to buy 4x LR070840 TPMS valves to get it to work. Once fitted, I had to drive about for 10 minutes for them all to start working and have been perfect ever since. Might be related to your GX FW point early in the video.

[@justinhowarth9211]

I think the chamfer on the washer goes outward so when blowing the tyre backup it rides up it onto the rim just a thought good video stay safe

[@philedwards4505]

On the Jag you have a TPMS loop in each wheel arch that communicates with the censor.

[@markdinmore9766]

Very impressed and helpful thank you

[@tammmacdonald7723]

I believe that the sensor is long life battery powered. The battery is not replaceable. The complete transducer has to be replaced. The piezoelectric transducer switches the sensor on when the vehicle is in motion and off to save power when stopped.

[@textliter]

Absolutely this information he is providing isn’t correct unfortunately. Also Land Rover has changed the TPMS sensors on new vehicles. Need him to check topix.

[@L663]

OK so I was not too sure but i dont think it changes much from a user point of view.

[@bodgerbill3]

Simon, the BMW Mini used a cunning system for TPMS by using the ABS speed sensors, but I guess they use conventional sensors now. If a tyre lost pressure that wheel then rotated faster and triggered the warning. A reset button below the handbrake lever recalibrated each time you reset the tyre pressures.

[@L663]

Hi Bill - that sounds like a logical and clever system.

[@Gilbertr14]

Same with Mercedes’ benz

[@Himoutdoors]

How does the TPMS charge on a spare tyre? 🧐

[@keiths-teeth]

When the tyre fitter changes tye tyre they should orientate the bead braker opposite the valve, and insert tyre leavers into the top well atleast 90o from the valve stem. Because theres a chance tye valve can get damaged in both operations

[@L663]

good point !

[@billbirch8455]

I'm going to Edinburgh for a few days. "The Tyre Extinguishers" are very active in the city at the moment - can you give some thought to designing a locking valve cap that would be sophisticated enough to defeat their efforts and unique enough for there to be a million combinations (like a wheel nut key). I've considered supaglue but that would cause me more inconvenience than they would, drilling a hole through the stem and cap for a teeny weeny padlock but there's not enough material, using alloy caps as these corrode and you have to cut them off, or some sort of indelible dye marker to identify the culprit, but then I am sure to forget and I get covered as well. There are some cheap items on the internet that rely on a simple key and expanding washer and also some that use an allen screw to clamp down on the cap thread - neither fill me with confidence. This is a serious request, these misinformed characters are causing real problems.

[@hedydd2]

I'd just smear a bit of silicon sealer on the washer if it leaks. Certainly wouldn't even touch the valve when changing a tyre unless there was significant visible corrosion or damage. Perhaps I'd check the torque of the retaining collar. Otherwise I reckon its just a way of selling more parts.

hi, just noted in the picture you took of the sensor on your phone GX63 1A159 AA, but your diagram shows GX63 1A158 AA, i assume the picture on your phone is correct with the number 9 on the end or does it make no difference? thanks. Another Q i have, im looking to get some 22" alloys to replace my 21" on my 2017 RRS, i assume any alloys i buy with a FW TMPS will not work on my car? and do you know what year they moved from FW to GX part numbers. Love your detailed Videos btw.. im new to Land Rover and it gives me loads of confidence watching your little DiY repairs.

[@colinkey7094]

Very informative video Simon - I had always wondered how these TPMS systems worked. Do you have any data as to how accurate these gizmos are? As a Defender 90 TD5 owner this is redundant technology to me. I have 235/85R16 General Grabber AT tyres which are only ever checked after a main dealer service (because they always over-inflate them). Other than that they never lose any pressure. Now, I would be extatic if you would do a video of how to replace a front windscreen washer jet on a TD5. Some on-line forums say it can be done by removing the ashtray to gain access to the retaining nut, otherwise it is off with the upper dashboard which is a pig of a job. P.S. Tyler is improving his video technique leaps and bounds.

[@terrythurston8572]

I have L494. Dash shows the spare in boot is below pressure ( but it is not) spare has not been on car for 6 years what could be the problem ?

[@bugjuicer]

I've seen in a few places on the interwebs, that the wiring on the LRs are usually in place, for the TMPS, but the sensors are fitted or not. I've not looked on my 2011 Disco 4, but assuming they're there, and I plug the sensors in, could you investigate if it can all be turned on with the OBD tool? It'd cost a bit for me to do it and find out it won't work!

[@alhit007]

Great to see or have a look at the rest of the “mighty Powerful fleet”!! And a chance to see other items you can sell, which leads me to the Defender 😬 any news??

[@alchristie2315]

I have a TPMS fault on my Discovery 4 . A signal can be detected on all 5 sensors so the dealer has replaced the receiver, but the fault remains. I’m wondering if reset takes place at 19mph for 10mins for all LR? or could there be some other fault with a sensor itself? Any advice welcomed. Thanks in advance

[@jordanjamesbell1]

I see on your 2013 l405 you don’t have the tpms on the service menu. Does it still have TPMS valves and still have a receiver? I have a 2014 l405 autobiography, not TPMS on the dash, going to change wheels so don’t want to have to do things twice over. Are there any of the years or models without? Thanks

Hi Simon. Last time I posted a comment, it was cold in the UK and hot here in South Africa. Now, this time, it snowed 30 kms from my home last night in the usually sunny and warm city of Durban. The climate is changing! My question, my Discovery LR4 SE does not have the factory fitted TPMS as standard. Can I fit and activate these on my vehicle?

[@L663]

Wow these are crazy times - snow in South Africa ! You can retrofit the TPMS- its something I was looking at doing.

[@NoTalentJustHardWork]

How would TPMS be charged in spare tire?

[@L663]

Hi - I think you need to drive for 10 minutes to charge it up before it starts working.

[@NoTalentJustHardWork]

@@L663 drive a car or spare tire? Do you think TPMS in spare tire charges from car vibration? A spare tire sits in car without being driven for years... And now my car shows warning about low pressure in spare tire. I checked pressure and it looks fine, so I guess this TPMS sensor issue in spare tire.

[@henryhotrod]

Hi there Maybe you can help where is the Tpms module located 2014 l494 any help would be cool thanks

I have a sport 2012, I changed the wheels size and use the same Old TPMS I faced an error reading (I figured out the problem was no spare is detected due to it was not configured!!) then I bought a (same size wheel spare and installed a fifth sensor and problem solved, But I still face a problem with car speed control (older wheels were17” while new once are 21”) How can I configure it with my car? Appreciate any comment regards this wheels size causing control speed issue)

I bought new weels with GX sensor and put it in RRS2014 but they dont work. Car dont see them, so I suppose GX are not FW compatible.

@@L663 Unfortunately, I have already traveled over 100 km, I read it need 10km driving above 25km/h. Maybe it need to be some kind of restart/programming etc. Its strange because there are planty of products online where its writen its compatible LR058023 and LR070840.

Hi Kevin - good question - I have taken a look at the wiring diagram and it looks simple - the module seems to be in the headlining - let me take a look - it maybe that the connector is there and all you need to do is add the module and activate the CCF files...

[@davidhuett3579]

.. so ... at the end of the day it doesn't matter where inside the tyre the sensor is situated .. it would work. The ONLY reason for the special valve is to hold the sensor in a fixed position so that it's not rolling around freely inside the tube.

[@L663]

Perfect summary - the valve is basically a hook !

[@textliter]

Maybe redo this video. A lot of incorrect information here.

[@L663]

[@453421abcdefg12345]

Yet another layer of unwanted technology! Vehicles have been driven around for over 70 years without any problem, then some government moron with nothing better to do comes up with this daft idea, if a driver cannot be bothered to check tyre pressures he is not capable of being in charge of a motor vehicle, and if the vehicle runs over a sharp object or a small object in the case of low profile tyres, he will get an instant deflation, so the fancy sensor will do no good at all! Stay safe! Chris B.

[@tonypacke6954]

I think you have summed it up. How many drivers nowadays could change a wheel, let alone know where the jack is located in their vehicle. Welcome to the dumbed down generation, you've only got to see the average TV program to see where all this is going!

[@johnwillett4086]

Disagree - TPMS is a lifesaver. I bought a system for my old vehicle which does not have TPMS as standard. The TPMS os a valve cap with a receiver on the dashboard. If you get a slow puncture it warns you. I once had a slow puncture while I was abroad and could not easily get it sorted. I set the pressure a little high and the TPMS warned me when it got too low and I drove over 1,000 miles across Europe - I needed to pump up the tyre 3 or 4 times during the trip - but I got home safely without the tyre going to flat and getting damaged. So - totally disagree - it's an excellent tool that can save the cost of a new tyre should you get a slow puncture while driving. It can even give you enough time with a faster puncture so you can pull over and change the wheel without having to drive flat and destroy the tyre.

[@AndyK.1]

I had assumed they were created due to run flat tyres. Where the driver may not be aware of a flat?

[@JC-xw7ml]

I Disagree, who could possibly miss checking tyre pressures by hand every few weeks?? Now you can accurately see the pressure at touch of button, or a check is performed when you start the vehicle.

[@L663]

@@AndyK.1 I too believe this was the origin - if you fitted runflats you needed to have some sort of TPMS !
