Buying TPMS Sensors

[iBrad81]

Used these and didn’t have to even program them, they eventually picked up after 10-15 miles

Finally installed them today and they work like a charm >> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W9L93VY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I run the exact sames one on my 2021 GEN3 Raptor and they also work.

Where's is everyone buying their TPMS sensors for their spare wheels? Don't really wanna spend 200 bucks for a set.

Awesome so plug and play no programming. Thanks!

Hi Guys. I can vouch for these TPMS sensors. I just had them installed this past Saturday and they worked without the Bronco going through any formal type of re-learning procedure. Interesting story though....

When I put on a set of Sasquatch takeoffs that were missing TPMS sensors, I never saw any alarms. The Bronco just kept reading the pressure off of the old sensors in the stack of original tire and wheels I had in the garage just a few yards away from where I park the Bronco. Even when driving around town, the old TPMS sensors were still getting picked up once I returned home. I drove around like this for about a week until The above sensors arrived.

This confused the heck out of the tire shop guys. So much so that they insisted that I already had sensors until they broke a tire down a saw for themselves (while I watched and verified).
After installing them, the tire guy could not figure out how to reset the car to read them. (there is a sequence that involves pushing the power button many times to place it in learning mode that allows him to use his tool that he wasn't aware of)
So I left the shop with the dash still showing the old pressures thinking they will just learn on their own and if they don't I'll just come back. I drove all around town that day (40 miles or so) and they didn't reset.

The next day I took one of the old garaged tires down to about 10 lbs to see if it would show up on the dash and it did. The dash now showed the 10 lbs of pressure as the right rear and had a flat tire warning. This while the tire was sitting in a pile a few yards away from the Bronco.

I jumped in the Bronco and drove it down the road. Within a mile of driving, the new TPMS sensors were finally picked up by the Bronco and started showing the pressure for each tire.
So it's almost as if the alarm triggered a re-learning of the TPMS sensors. ( or maybe just a coincidence? )
Very Strange.

I used the tire rack ones and they work great, but they're long. Anyone know of a TPMS that's a stubby or shorter shaft?

Ordered the rock auto, do they switch back and forth easy?

 

[Raptor911]

what do you mean "switch back and forth easy"?

Do you mean if you have a different set of wheels with different TPMS, does the vehicle reconize a different set without issue?

YES! Your vehicle does not care what set of TPMS you are running. It just cares that the TPMS is broadcasting at 315mhz

Just a word of caution.
I bought a set of 315 mh OEM ford sensors on line.
The arrived in the un opened package.
I had them installed in my Ultra Rims and KO2 tires.
They set in my garage for a year while I was waiting for my Bronco.
I put them on and they wouldn't read properly.
Ended up I had a bad sensor(brand new).
Replaced it and everything was good for 10,000 miles.
Since I have replaced the other 3 as they went bad. ($75.00 Each sensor and install)
Funny thing is the batteries showed a good charge.
Each sensor I had replaced has worked flawlessly.
So I'd have the tire installer install the sensors, you buy from them, so if they go bad you will at least have some warranty.

Yes sir, I mean I'm going to run the ford rock slingers on highway (mostly) and the rock monsters with swamper TSLs off highway (mostly)

Just install and drive it and it will auto sync. I have run multiple wheels on multiple fords and never had to use any learning tool.

If a simple activation tool was provided (usually small a white box with green button), this is how you can use it to do a manual relearn. Note it is ONLY needed if the sensors don't automatically sync. Most people do not need to use a tool for pre-programmed sensors.

Was any programming necessary?

 

[Raptor911]

NO. There is no programming needed on a Ford.

I am running this on my 2021 F150 Raptor and also my 2022 Wildtrak. Just install and drive for 2-3 miles and it will auto sync.

BTW .. I will run the same TPMS on my incoming 2023 Bronco Raptor.
