TPMS

[Kyle5881]

I recently put in my summer tires brand new never been mounted before and I bought Motorcraft 315Mhz sensors off eBay and they’ve been on for over a week and they never synced up my tire pressures were the number from my stock wheels and then today I get TPMS fault on passenger side rear tire. What’s going on? How do I fix this? I tried the relearning thing and it told me to go to front left tire and I went and let air out for more then 10 seconds and nothing.

unfortunately, other members have bought from ebay before and the sensors were dead. I bought a set from TPMSbargains.com recently--not the cheapest but wanted pieace of mind.

most vehicles need a tool to reset the TPMS properly, take it to a tire shop and ask them to reset the TPMS and they would be able to see the battery life in said sensors. Its possible it just needs a proper reset.

Most vehicles might, new Ford vehicles do not. If the sensors are good they will auto learn after driving a few miles. This has been the case for years now.

that's not always the case and sometimes it requires the vehicle being put into learn mode and reset with a tpms tool.

If the car is working correctly that’s 100% the case. It’s literally how the car is designed to work. I have yet to do anything but drive in close to 6 years and countless wheel and tire swaps and rotations including a rotation last week. If a car doesn’t auto detect the TPMS there’s something off in the car…or the sensors.

look man i can appreciate your comments and knowledge, BUT that's not always the case, i have been doing tires for a living for 15 years and do this reset procedure on new fords all day everyday. Like i said thats not always the case and sometimes the vehicle needs to be put into learn mode and reset with a TPMS tool.

And again…if that needs to happen, something isn’t right with the car. When working properly, they self learn. Period. How long you’ve done your job doesn’t change that fact.

How long I've done it makes me an expert. How many tpms training classes have you taken? Forget it man I forget you are the only expert here LOL

You can intentionally ignore what I wrote all you want….that still doesn’t make you an expert. I know plenty of people with post graduate degrees that are idiots. Now read what I said about the car again real slow and maybe you’ll understand it.
