TPMS Sensor issue

[Zrider]

So I had to replace 2 of my tire pressure sensors, an easy job if you have the friend with the right tools. After a few miles down the road, they began working and worked for a day and a half. The next day one reads 0 pressure. Is there a way to reset the system or do I have to take it back to the dealership to have the new sensor replaced again?

Must have been a glitch in the Matrix. Except for one day, its been reading fine all week.

Discount tire can reset it for free, as well.

You can Google the tpms reset procedure. It's the same on a bunch of Ford's. If you rotate your tires you'll have to do this...

I've rotated my tires .multiple times and never had to do anything but drive long enough to get them to update. I rum different pressures front to back, for towing, so I notice when they update.

Unless you retrain your sensors you might be indicating tire pressures for the original configuration. The sensor in the tire stem moves with the rotated tire that relationship is how you see the tires in the display... Each sensor has a unique I'd so the vehicle knows which tire has which pressure.

I replaced the wheels on my bronco with take offs with 35's. I haven't had it reprogramed to read the new sensors yet. My dash still shows the last reading from the old ones that are long gone.

2019 manual says to retrain. Some systems may update in time. Some may not. The retrain does not require a tool other than an air compressor to refill your tire when done. There is a discussion on this in the forum. Best to say might be sensor dependent and model year dependent. The 2020 manual doesn't indicate the need for the procedure. If there is an issue or you suspect an issue
.. just take the 5min to retrain them to be safe.

Get use to it...I've had issues with my right rear since last tire install...on my 20 minute commute to work, it goes off at the same exact corner 1/4 mile from work...must be a warning after 20 minutes of no signal...doesn't happen all the time...probably some of my lightworks interfering...
