Brand NEW MOTORCRAFT Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Training Tool
Used to train OEM sensors so the TPMS warning light is not illuminated
Battery already installed
Ready to use out of the box
NOTE: This factory Ford tool is designed to work only with factory OEM Ford Wheels & Sensors. It may work on other aftermarket parts, however we cannot guarantee this.
How To Train Your Sensors:
Ford vehicles newer than 2007 commonly use TPMS sensors that monitor air pressure in the tires. The sensors communicate with the vehicle through an access point at each wheel that must be "trained" or programmed to communicate with. This is done using this inexpensive TPMS Training Tool by following a few easy steps.
Step 1: Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Step 2: Press and release the brake pedal.
Step 3: Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.
Step 4: Press and release the brake pedal.
Step 5: Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Step 6: Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered successfully. If equipped, the message center will display "TRAIN LF TIRE".
Step 7: Place the tire pressure monitor activation tool on the LEFT FRONT (Driver Side) tire sidewall at the valve stem. Press and release the test button repeatedly on the TPMS Tool until the horn beeps. (It may take up to 6 seconds for the tool to activate the sensor. Leave the tool on the sidewall for the whole 6 seconds). The horn beeping verifies that the BCM (Body Control Module) has recognized the TPMS sensor.
Step 8: Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding confirming programming of the LEFT FRONT (Driver Side) tire sensor, place the TPMS tool on the RIGHT FRONT (Passenger Side) tire sidewall at the valve stem and press the test button to activate the sensor.
Step 9: Repeat step 7 for RIGHT REAR (Passenger Side) followed by LEFT REAR (Driver Side) tire in that order. The procedure is complete after the last tire has been trained. When complete, the message center (if equipped) will display "TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE". For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure is verified by turning the key to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the horn beeps twice when the switch is turned to OFF the training procedure was not successful.
NOTE: If the vehicle, wheels, or sensors have been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep mode". It is necessary to "wake them up" by moving them or rolling the tires before they will communicate with the vehicle again.
NOTE: The TPMS training procedure must be done on 1 vehicle at a time, in an area without radio frequency interference (at least 3 feet away from other vehicles equipped with TPMS sensors).
NOTE: Vehicles with different tire pressures front/rear like F-Series Pickups and E-Series Vans also require TPMS re-training after a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will cause the TPMS warning light to light up on the dash.
