Opel Insignia: Dismounting/Mounting Procedures
CAUTION: The tire should be dismounted from the wheel using the tire changer manufacturer's instructions. Use the following information to avoid damage during the dismounting/mounting procedures.
NOTE: If vehicle's tires are replaced with those not having a TPC Spec number, the TPM system may give an inaccurate low pressure warning. Non-TPC Spec tires may give a low pressure warning that is higher or lower than the proper warning level achieved by TPC Spec numbered tires.
NOTE: The TPMS sensor Relearn procedure must be performed after every tire rotation, BCM replacement, or sensor replacement.
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
CAUTION: DO NOT inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into tires, as this may cause a malfunction of the tire pressure sensors. If any tire sealant is noted upon tire dismounting, replace the sensor. Also remove all residual liquid sealant from the inside of the tire and wheel surfaces.
Removal
1. Raise vehicle on a suitable support. Remove tire/wheel assembly from vehicle.
2. Dismount tire from wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions.
3. Remove the TORX screw (1) from the tire pressure sensor (2) and pull it straight off the tire pressure valve stem (3). See Fig. 3.
4. Remove the tire pressure valve stem by pulling it through the rim.

Installation
NOTE: When servicing the tire pressure sensor always use a new tire pressure monitor (TPM) and a new TORX screw during installation.
1. Assemble the tire pressure sensor (2) to the valve stem and install the NEW TORX screw (3). Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) valves and TORX screws are one-time use only.
2. Apply tire soap to the rubber portion of the valve stem (1).
3. Using a tire valve stem mounting tool, pull the valve stem through in a direction parallel to the valve hole on the rim.
4. Mount the tire to the rim.
5. Install tire on wheel. Install tire/wheel assembly on vehicle. Retrain tire pressure sensor.
