Tire pressure monitor fault

[evgenyvasenev]

I put new wheels on Monday and everything was fine, but today, while driving the highway, all sensors suddenly went off, and I got this message: Tire pressure monitor alert. Has someone had this issue? Should I take the Bronco to a dealer? I wonder if it's the new sensors problem or the Bronco problem, as all the sensors went off simultaneously.

Having the same issue since doing a five tire rotation. Mine shows a fault after driving 15-20 miles every day. I‘m just ignoring it until I take it in for an oil change in a month or so.

One of the best things I ever bought was a "genuine" ford TPMS trigger tool (was around $50 on ebay) If you have access to one, you can do the following:

Manual relearn procedure (push-button start):

Engage the parking brake and inflate all tires
With the vehicle OFF, push and release the brake pedal
Push START button 5 times (NOTE: 8 times if 2x-to-RUN)
Press and release the brake pedal
Push START button 6 times (NOTE: 9 times if 2x-to-RUN)
A single horn chirp will indicate the relearn mode is active
Use the tool to activate the left front sensor
A single horn sounds to indicate sensor learning successful
Repeat for right front, right rear and left rear tires
TRAINING MODE COMPLETE will display on the message center when relearn is finished

Important note, some models require the start button to be pressed twice (without pressing the brake) to enter RUN mode (Ignition ON/Engine OFF). If this is the case, modify steps 3 and 5 as noted.

So, I should by the device and do that? Correct? Or can I just come to the dealer and ask to do it? I wonder if it's one time problem or I will need to repeat it periodically.

You can ask them to do it, they may or may not do it for free... Personally I find that there's no such thing as "wasting" money on useful tools to do something yourself in less time than it likely takes to drive to your dealer.

So there are 2 ways, manual (the long sequence) or using the device. Correct?

You need the trigger tool to do the long sequence I posted.

Note the step "Use the tool to activate the left front sensor "

Do you have a link or a photo if that device?

I thought a dealer tech had to reprogram to new sensors.

I think he did, it worked for a few days and just stopped.

I found one, but the link above and the video shows a different device, with a screen.

You should take it vack to him. Maybe he can reprogram it again FOR FREE.

The tool in the video is a multi-brand professional TPMS tool. As long as you have a tool that is compatible with ford TMPS sensors, it doesn't matter, the process is the same.
