Ford Quick Tips: #47 How To Train Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors 

This Tool worked perfectly for my 2010 Ford Fusion 👌...this guy is right on the money when it comes to Fords, I hold on to his every word, especially since I'm a Ford man!

Dude you're a lifesaver. After trying the hazard light version of tpms learn mode (which wouldn't work no matter how many times I tried) your version of key cycles totally worked on my 17 RS! Thank you!!!!

I bought that tool from a Ford dealership and it worked great. Just like you said. Thanks so much.

This worked on my 2022 F-150 Raptor after nothing else would, including the hazards 3x method. Thanks!

just had new tires & sensors on my 2011 escape. got the tool off amazon for $13 and it took literally 1 minute to train them.

This guy is the Goat of Ford I love how he explains what he is doing I love seing your videos I hope you never stop

Thank you ☺️ I just recieved my TPMS tool in the mail today and it worked like a charm.

Reset TPMS on my 2022 Ford Maverick to a lower psi. Thanks for the spot-on info.

Thanks I just received my relearn tool and went outside and was able to my new sensors working just fine. Thank you again.

Dam, your videos are the best. I honestly would love to apprentice under you. I've had my 2010 Edge for less then a year and so far you've helped me with the dreaded water pump replacement (that was fun😁), axel seal replacements, and now this. Turns out my sensors were the ones 180 deg from the stem. Honestly thanks for all the help.👍

2010 Escape with 141K miles the original TPMS units have been dead over a year and was replacing new Michelin tires last Christmas along with ordered new replacement Motorcraft 9L3Z-1A189-A TPMS sensors, they are the real deal not clones. Also ordered the Super EL50448 (2 in 1 TPMS Relearn Tool). Medical issue wifes hip (her Escape parked) two months hence delayed before the TPMS Relearn Tool applied) with app 140 miles driven to hospital and post surgery checkups before relearning tool applied. Tire pressure at 32 psi following this video, I get a dash instuction to learn left front tire. With the Relearn Tool and 6 to 10 cycled power on button I get two car horn beeps, the dash showing TPMS Failure. These are brand new Motorcraft TPMS sensors. I read to drive and within 30 minutes to recheck before the TPMS sensors shut down to save the batteries. Same failed results even after airing up to 38 psi. Do I have to air down all four to 20 psi then back up to 32 psi (Ford spec psi) then check again with relearning the TPMS sensors? New battery 9.6 volts meter tested. PLEASE HELP! THX.

as a self-teaching, Learning "Mechanic In Training" I can honestly say your videos have helped me with my Fords and sometimes even transfer the knowledge onto other brands of vehicles that my friends have me service.. I know your strictly a Ford Guru to say the least, but My customer has a 2009 chevy traverse with one TPMS Sensor not reading its the back right one as the Traverse will show TP on the instrument cluster in Information Mode.. it will display it as Rear Right: -- and have the warning check service TPMS.. this car is how i first learned how to reset the Sensors and that theres an exact procedure to ensure it registers as 1..2...3..4.. LF...RF...RR..LR.. But do u know if the air release method would work on a 09 chevy since you said that was about when the F150s started popping up around 09 as well.? tried to borrow the tool from local "o'rielys" where half the people working there are high school afficianados who im pretty sure dont own a car or even know what a car is.. but this one kid started looking on this laminated piece of paper after i asked if they loaned the relearn tool, and he only looked at one side of the paper and told me no and im not even sure if he knew what the tool was tbh. thanks

I was having an issue with my "low tire pressure" error symbol on my 2012 Fusion coming on my dash. Without buying ANY special tools I simply ensured that the tire pressure on all four tires was spot on INCLUDING the spare, DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THE SPARE. I then pressed the HAZARD button on then off THREE times and before I could get out of my driveway the horn beeped and magically the error symbol went off and hasn't come back. Remember: if you have any appreciable miles on your vehicle you like I have gone through several sets of tires which means your TPMS wheel sensors have probably long ago been discarded by some tire tech. I suspect it was low pressure on the spare that was causing the error code. Good luck!

I have one sensor that is not responding knowing that it is working. What is the solution?

Tool worked perfectly. Bought it on E Bay for $13 Thank you as always

This guy is the Goat of Ford I love how he explains what he is doing I love seing your videos I hope you never stop

I have a 2012 f350 also a 2014 f350 and I hate whenever I rotate tires the light comes on. Will this tool help me relearn sensor locations so the light will go off.

Magic work for ford expedition 07, thanks bro

I have a 2010 Fusion. I bought this training tool and did the training. The "tire sensor fault" came back on. Should I try letting air out of the tires or is it something else? You give us great information with your videos and save us "lots" of money. Keep up the great work.

Outstanding video! Thanks for showing both ways to train them.

What if I can’t get the last one to beep so the programming is finish? Thanks in advance. Ps show us more cool tips like this

I just tried the deflation method on my 2010 Escape and it didn't work. I'll try getting the sensor training tool.

Thank you very much for sharing, I fixed my problem!

Just bought new ones for my 2011 f-150. They will not respond to the tool and not when letting out air. The guys at the tire shop said they could get them to “talk” but didn’t know hope to program them. What could be the issue?

Helped me today! Thanks Makuloco!!!!

My 09 150 is throwing DTC C2780 (SJB) and "Tire Pressure Monitoring Fault" is on my cluster display. Also, my dome lights are flashing when the vehicle is running. Would this sensor training fix that, do you think?

Early model Ford 2009. How do you determine WHICH sensor is no longer transmitting? 10 years 150,000 miles. Tricky, hopefully only one sensor.

Your video saved me a lot of money. Ford in South Africa is really out to get the people - they dont help at all if you dont pay the a lot of money....

Worked great on my 09 Explorer. Got the tool for like $25 and all 4 sensors for $200. Spent $225 vs $400+. So I’m very happy to have saved $175+. Thanks!!

Thank you for the video sir. Question for you. I have a 2009 F250 Harley Edition and the tire sensors are causing faults. If I fill the tires up to the correct pressure, the fault still comes on the dash after starting. You mentioned the batteries might be dead in them. What is the best way to replace these without going to Ford for parts? Do I need to replace them or get something else offered online. Thanks so much. Ray Kaz

My 2005 Explorer XLT actually has the pressure down feature...

love your channel...is that an xmaxx back there? LOL

This is also how you clear the TPMS "error" as well. Just program each wheel as shown and you will no longer have the error on your instrument cluster.

May God bless you! That's all I can whish for someone who sincerely teaches others!

good video 'if i have spare tire with censor in and the ones on truck dont have 'will this leave light on dash

what would happened in your front driver side is bad, unresponsive ? do you move on to the passenger side and so on ?

Had a faulty battery and then had to change my front tyres. I get the beep on the first three tyres but the rear left doesn't do anything. Does this mean my sensor in the wheel is faulty?

Great information Brian.

Man, I can't thank you enough for helping us out. I just did exactly what you instructed and it never felt so good like getting that stupid light of my dashboard cluster. Thanks again

Bought brand new tires, rims and tpms from Ford after a guy wanted different rims and tires on new truck. Bought the tool from Ford ran the procedure and cannot the tpms to respond. These tires had 3 mi on them and they were from a new F 150 and mine is a 2016 F 150. Now I have to go to Ford.

I have a 2010 f150 and the Tpms is on and when I try to do this procedure to reprogram the sensors nothing happens on neither of the wheels? What can be the issue?

I have a 2011 F250 Powerstroke and I put 2008 F250 20" Lariat wheels on. I cannot get the sensors to train by letting air out of the tires. I am hoping that this method works. My question is can the band type sensor, what I believe are on the 2008 tires, be programmed to the 2011 F250 computer? I have searched and searched and searched for an answer and I am hoping this tool will help solve my problem.

I wish it worked ! I have watched this video and others as well and it will just not work on my 2010 f150. I also tried the letting air out trick and all this accomplished was a flat tire ... sensor is bad maybe ?? I can't even try the others because my left front wont accept any training and after several attempts I just get an error on the dash telling me that training failed .

Are you pushing and holding the button on the tool or just clicking it?

Is this applicable to 2016 Ford Everest 4x4 model? Thanks in advance!

Will it work on 2016 Ford Transit 350 XLT Diesel? Thanks

Tire light on within 20-30 minutes on the road, and few miles later, tire light went out, my ford f150 is 09 it got 138, 400 miles, just had it reset the sensor tpms March 2020 at a Ford Dealership and after 3 months later, tire light is back on when I'm driving. Had my air tires pressure checked out but the shop said it could be the weather of cooler and heat or can be the sensor itself. All the sudden, a tmps sensor fault came on unsure of which tire is it.

Hi I see your video question if the tire doesn't make any horn sound the mean the sensor is bad?

I did everything as you showed on the video, but the 1A150 / 1A189 sensors are unavailable and do not train with the TPMS-19 Sensor tool 8C2T-1A203-AB. Can I have bought the wrong sensors?

Does the air release method work when installing a brand new TPMS sensor? I have a 2013 Ford focus

Hey Thanks for the video. Any idea about the 2005 Expeditions? I had them changed out to the newer sensors (which are suppose to be pre-programmed to your vehicle), and you just follow learning steps of your vehicle. Which in my case would be to use the magnet, but they don't work. Guess I should get and try that button showed? Thanks in advance!

Hello, thank you very much for your information and videos. I followed the video above for my 2011 Ford Escape because it has an intermittent "Tire Pressure Monitor Fault" message. I was able to train all four tires and previously the SJB/battery were replaced by a repair shop but the fault appeared again a day later. The fault is intermittent and usually appears for no reason, but will come and go as I drive over big bumps or train tracks. When parking my car at night, if the fault is displayed, the dash board lights will not turn off, which has killed my battery numerous times (hence the replacement mentioned above). I'm in the military and currently located in England; the repairs shop are unable to troubleshoot the fault and suggested "I wait until I return to the states and then get it fixed". I have over a year and a half left and would like this fairly new car to last since I have just 60K miles. I appreciate any help and insight you can provide, thank you! - Gil

Hi , good videos , keep it up , I have a 2010 Ford cargo van xl ,my tire sensor light it's on , and do u have an tips on that ... other than what it was explained here , thank you !!!!!

I have a 2009 f150. I just put on some 2018 F150 wheels but I can't get the sensors to reset. I'm using the same tool you suggest. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Hi i have 2007 Ford Edge SEL AWD V6 3.5L SUV. The tire pressure sensor fault is showing on dash with tire symbol blinking. Does the tool you initially spoke on here in video actually work for my model an year Edge? Thanks for giving me few minutes of your time regarding this matter.

I hope you can see this comment, i have 2007 ford f150 sxt, i installed new band sensors , tire place said they are there , they can see it with the scanner, but they can’t communicate with the truck

I can get 3 beeps not the driver side rear and I don't have endless time like in your video, If I don't do all four tires in like a min I get a reset message on dash and it goes out of program mode, after years I just ignore the light.

Hi l liked your video it just helped me but could you show some tip to activate the DRL lights in 2011 Ford escape

Have a 2011 Ford Edge. Says TMPS Failure. Will this tool tell me which one is bad??

I know im about 6 years late, but my 2008 Ranger XL wont go into the relearn mode, no matter how many times I do the procedure. Not getting any confirmation beep to notify i've entered the procedure. Would love any advice. thanks

Another informative video!

I have a 2010 mercury grand Marquis will this work for it. My tire sensor light flashes stays on for awhile then shuts off. I did just recently get new tires put on at a Walmart so I don't think they retrained my tpms after they installed my tires.

Owner's manual says to put TPMS tool opposite to valve stem(there is even picture drawing), but obviously it works either way, LOL.

So if neither works what would the problem be? I bought ford censors off ebay in ford packaging.

2007 Expedition, Can the original Band Type be replaced with Stem type

How can I do it on my 2015 f150 I just got newer air tire sensors from your company

So when he let the air out does that mean that sensor was bad on that tire ?

I changed tires and added new Tom sensor on my 09 f150 xlt crew cab. The rear sensors would not communicate. The tire shop even changed out the seniors with the same issue. I’d the pcm defective or should I reset it?

Need to try again on my 09 Mustang GT. I have the programming tool, and had new stem mount sensors put into all 4 wheels (they are metal stem). Went through the programming and it supposedly worked (Training Complete) but the sensor fault message continues. Any ideas?

hey.. i have a 2011 flex .. had 153,000 miles on it... you mentioned about the mileage... not sure what i should do?

Exactly what I needed to know! Thank you so much for this excellent video!!

i know this is a old video but i have not had ant luck getting any help my wife has a 2004 ford explorer we bought new rims for her car and bought new tpms sensors from our local NAPA they are a vdo redi sensor would this tool program the sensors ?? any help would be grateful thank you in advance ..........

I've got an 08 Marquis with band sensors, I put my winter wheels on the back which are from a 2000s Explorer and also have band sensors, can I train them to the vehicle?

its about 7 years after this video was posted, but it just helped me out! ordered some new wheels and tires for my F150. the website suggested i purchase that tool, but it didnt give any instructions for it so i didnt purchase one. was gonna just have a shop do it, but now i can buy the tool and i dont have to pay the shop fee and whatever labor they'd charge to do a 5 minute job.

I finally got this tool and tried relearning the band sensors and it still doesn't work. I now have a sensor fault error on my dash.

What does this mean when I see it on the car dashboard? Please help instantaneous fuel

Hi, I have a 17 Explorer Sport ordered, I would like to order aftermarket wheels for it. would u be able to help me with the part # and or freq I need them to install in the aftermarket wheels.. It also says ur programming tool will not work on a 2017. Thanks for ur help

If I disconnect the battery will that reset it like it does with other indicators?

I am truly greatful to you sir. I just programmed my tpms to my 2010 F150 FX4 5.4L. Worked like a charm. May God richly bless you with health, wisdom and more knowledge even to know about the Creator of the universe.

was wondering why this wouldnt work lol just found out i had to press my hazzard button 3 times to activate training mode. 2012 ford fusion.

hello your videos very good, I would like to consult you that I have a problem with my ford f-150, buy the 4 tpms sensors of the wheels, and at the time of programming it with the programmer of tpms for ford vehicles, after entering the mode of programming I can not detect any wheel, already occupied the programming tool in other similar trucks and it works perfectly, and with my scanning tool I have the code b-2872, some solution?

Can this procedure be used to train new TPMS sensors?

Great video. Thanks for taking time

I have 2 tires one that's takes a long time to relearn and the other one won't relearn tire shop says tpms are picking up so they're not dead so what's up with that

When I bought new tires at Discount Tires, they reset the air sensors free after correct pressure for each tire.

How do you do it on a 2009 crown Victoria? Is it the same process?

how do you do this on a push button to start system with no key?

Will this work on a 2016 ford explorer

What if -- the horn on my Explorer XLT 2007 does NOT sound after the initial activation process (brake on/off, 3 times ignition on/off, etc.) ??? What to do then ? I cannot turn to a Ford dealer b/c there are no qualified Ford dealers here in Austria/Europe with respect to Explorers, Expeditions ect. (never imported and sold here).

I reference this twice a year. Every year.

On 2009 Escape just like the one in the video: If the first tire is trained but the second tire does not recognize the TPMS tool, does that mean the second tire needs a new valve sensor?

what about in a 2007 jeep commander that has a badly and annoying flicking tpms lights

I have a related question for my 2015 Transit connect. Because it's a commercial van the system shows the low pressure warning when psi drops under 40 psi. That means I have to keep pressure at 42 or so. I never carry heavy weight, just light boxes so the ride is hard as a rock. Any way to set the low pressure warning to 32 psi so I can keep the tires at 35?

What about 2013 Ford Taurus which has a push start button ??

good info on TPMS. Are you still fixing Fords across the country or retired for the winter?

If your Ford vehicle has push button start how do you get it into train mode?

Hi . Does it work for F150 2015 to program new sensors ?

Does this system impact performance at all or is it simply a convenience?

Does the TPMS19 tool work on 2009 focus, and 2015 SRW F-350? Great video!

Excellent video. Bought the sensor tool 3 years ago after seeing this video but didn't have to use it until this morning. Worked perfectly.
