Lightbulb Re: losing air from rear tire
Dan I know on cars that do not have TPM, using soap water to check the valve stem is the best method. However, I am wondering if that method is acceptable with the Crossfire since the TPM is in the valve stem. The service manual has the following warning regarding the cap to ensure moisture stays out of the stem:

Note: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring
seal to prevent contamination and moisture from entering
the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. Do
not substitute a regular valve stem cap in its place.
I am now also wondering about the effect of the submersion tank on the TPM if the technician does not put on the valve cap.
