So i went wheeling yesterday at AOAA. Great time, but put a slice with a litte hole in my side wall.

Ford Bronco Mounted Spare Tire Confirms TPMS in Spare (5 Total on Bronco) 20210822_110417


No big deal, put a plug in it, air back to 16 psi kept on going....

Btw, when you air down, a tire light comes on with a message you acknowledge and then thats it, the light stays on, not a big deal, but you still get your pressures from the tires. That is how i know i had a leak. I keep it on off road display that shows pressure, drive train and such.

So, end of day wheeling, I start the job of putting on the spare. Used the tools onboard which worked fine. Spare on and every thing put away so i start to head home. I did not air up the spare so at first the one tire displayed 16 still. But to my surprise about 10 minutes later, it read 40!!!

I didn't expect a TPMS in the spare, on top of that did not expect the bronco to know which one to read!!!

So a very pleasent surprise!

I find this VERY COOL!!!
... and to think the crap I have to put up with doing a winter/summer switch on the Subaru and it's completely dumbed down TPMS.

This is excellent!

I think I recall reading this a while back, but great to see it confirmed (except the flat tire sucks). This will make it much easier to do a 5 tire rotation.

This shouldn’t be a news flash. It says in a lot of documentation that it comes with 5 TPMS

How long will it take for a programmer to come out?

The TPMS get programmed to each cars computers and the gauge cluster can tell you which tire on the car has low pressure, for example back left tire .... are you saying when you do a tire rotation the computer doesn't care and if you move the Back left tire to the spare location, it will still read it correctly? it will show the back spare as low?

just a guess here, but I think the sensors come alive once they’re moving. If the tire isn’t spinning it won’t send a signal for pressure.

No, this actually is a development because the owner's manual says the spare won't automatically be read into the TPMS system:

For the best tire life, a five tire
rotation is recommended that
includes the matching spare tire
mounted on the back of the
vehicle. This rotation requires a
forced re-learning of your tire
pressure monitor system sensors
by your vehicle, and should be
performed by an authorized dealer
or a service center to ensure the
tire pressure monitor system will
provide proper warning at all
times. When performing the tire
rotation yourself, a four tire
rotation is recommended, without
using the spare tire in the rotation,
so that no tire pressure monitor
system sensor re-learn is required.
If a five tire rotation is performed
without a tire pressure monitor
system sensor re-learn, the
system may not provide a low tire
pressure warning when necessary.

Nice. I live about 15 minutes from there. Nice park.
Nice, wish i did!!!
Takes me at least 3 hours with no traffic.
Although i may have made it in 2 hour and 40 min one time, and found out that the engine on the bronco is limited to 102 mph, hypothetical speaking of course.

Too bad that park is really the only attraction in the area other than Knoebels. Did you stay overnight somewhere?
