Does the locking ring prevent the sensor from being removed to add air? Can the sensor still be removed and replaced if it's defective?

The Lock ring is only held on by a grub screw that is tighten or loosen with an allen key. Once loosened the sensor can be unscrewed

The locking ring locks the sensor into the tire valve stem.The sensor must be removed BEFORE air is added to the tire.Fortunately, the locking mechanism is a screw with a hex head... Takes about 4s to undo.

Sensor must be removed to add air.So you must unlock to add air.I never use them . PitBoss.

Seems like you would need to take it off, or remove the magnet. Otherwise, how will the air circulate into the unit where the sensor is?

The one I bought less than a year ago does allow the gas connector to lock on. I have not had any problems with simply holding the ring up while pushing down in order to no lock it. I normally do it this way, but if you slowly connect it I don't see why it locking would be a problem.

There is a setting to reverse the sensor status. Out of the box it said the door was closed when open, etc

It depends on the lock. Your local tire store should have a tool to remove locks. You will also have to take the tire off the wheel to change the sensor.

In my case, no. I replaced the one bad sensor in May and so far no further issues.

The two sensors that are on the far right of the unit might be crusted with deposits.I would fill the base full with 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar (if it's real full it will cover thesensors) or you can chip it off but be careful about damaging the sensor).

I am trouble shooting my system apparently if the hole u drill is too snug (meaning u can forcefully push the sensor in vs a sliding in like butter) the sensor gets squished (more oval than round) and this causes a reflection of the acoustics being seen prior to leaving the sensor and u get a reading of an obstruction at 0.0 or 0.4 meters from these improperly fitting sensors. I found this out after installing and one hole I drilled larger so the sensor floated a tad but it adhered fine when I siliconed it. Once system was up I kept getting 0.0 and 0.4 readings and constant beeping. I troubleshot (pluging 1 in at a time while car is in reverse and parking break is on) and low and behold only the sensor with the larger hole (which created no side pressure on the sensor case) is operational. Now I need to remove the other 3 and woller out the holes a bit.

You do have to take the unit down as the hard wiring comes from behind the main unit. It isn't hard though. The hardest part is the unit dangling while you switch the wires out. If you can have someone hold the unit while you switch the wires it is easy. TURN POWER OFF, remove the unit, remove the wire nuts, undo the old sensor, connect the new sensor (reuse the wire nuts), and install whole unit back to house. It is cheaper to replace the sensor and not the hole unit.

To fix mine I just had to smack it against my hand (without the brush head on) on all four sides a few times. I think something may have been pressed against the sensor and causing it to stay on.

I do not know how to fix this, but I am pretty sure if it is the sensor you can order it and replace it. Before that check to see if it got clogged.

Mine leaked air when I first bought it...I took it apart, polished the inside of the reservoir and replaced the O-rings...after that, it would hold air indefinitely...

I had that problem as well. I contacted Nine Stars and the first things that they tell you to do is number one clean the sensor with plain water and a rag and wipe it dry, then take the batteries out and let it sit for 24 hours before putting them back in. Unfortunately that didn't fix my problem so I had to pay to ship it back to them ( it was under warranty) and they fixed it at no charge and they shipped it back at no charge.

I would try blowing some compressed air in the paper channel. A pressurized duster cannister from an office supply store might work as well. I'm assuming the sensor is being blocked by paper dust.

I don't know what exactly it could be but, the OEM nut came off without having to work very hard so when I reinstalled the new sensor I just estimated how hard it was to get off. Basically just torqued it down to finger tight and then two and half turns which made it pretty darn snug. Haven't had any issues yet! Sorry I can't help more.

Very cool. Thanks. Im hoping its the temp sensor as I already replaced the element so far and thats the only thing left. Thanks again

Yes. I have mine now for the past year without issue. I also had just the sensors on other fixtures and they also did fine. The company is very responsive to questions.
