What exactly is the common issue with the purge valve on these? On the Focus ST, they're known to go bad, and will cause a few CELs and worst case, the fuel tank can deform. There was a recall on it. Most people just replace them periodically as preventative maintenance. Some people have even...

I ended up going with the Autel TPMS that the tire shop had. They had the programming tool so that worked.

Yes

I wish! I think they belonged to the guy at the shop. I'm hoping to put some Eibachs on next.

Currently getting mounted, then aligned. More pics later.

The AFF7 is a great looking wheel that's light and has great fitment. I was sure I was gonna get those, but I got such a good deal on a different set of wheels.

I'm returning them. These are from a Chinese seller.

These look legit and seem like they were packaged in jan 2025. I just don't get why they won't respond to the tpms19. I heard that these ship in deep sleep mode and aren't wakened until they're pressurized or spinning.

I tested one of the eBay OEM ones and it didn't honk. I'm glad I saw your post about the items being old. I was about to just take the gamble and get it mounted.

I got these from Amazon after seeing some people on here and FB say they worked: https://a.co/d/7r1v1GX I didn't mount them to my tire, I just put the car in relearn mode and placed the sensor near the wheel and clicked the TPMS19 tool around it. No honk. Is this even a valid test? It works...

I used Forscan and cleared the DTC from the Body Control Module (BdyCM). It cleared all the sensors, and after driving for just a few minutes (not even a mile), 3 of the 4 sensors came back on. I had hoped that clearing it would give the car a fresh slate and see the sensor, but no go. Two...

Some pics in the day light. I am going to try to get everything mounted and aligned this Friday. Regarding the amount of threads left after the spacer and wheel, I can make about 10 full turns with the lug nut before I have to torque it down. I think that's in a safe range.

Do I need to do anything special to get my car to recognize the new sensor? My front left OEM sensor died and I've had a tire pressure sensor fault light for the last 3 weeks. I've been testing new sensors by going into relearn mode and using a clicker tool. So far, several sensors that I've...

I found out that the spacer I ordered was 5mm. Whoops. I might just keep them. I know I'm being paranoid, but how do I know if I'll have enough lug stud length with the spacer and the new wheels? I ceramic coated the wheels. The one on the left is ceramic coated, the one on the right isn't yet.

Here's how it should look. Just slightly more poke than OEM. I guess we'll have to wait and see in a few weeks after I get an alignment and TPMS sensors and everything mounted.
