MasterTechTip Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 You need to put the vehicle in training mode to learn the sensors. Here's the procedure, one it's in training mode you need to start with the left front tyre and go around the car clockwise finishing with the left rear. The horn will beep with a message saying training complete. Programming NOTE: Enter Training Mode Without Scan Tool NOTE: 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 Left Front (LF) TIRE. With the ignition OFF, press and release the brake pedal. Using the start/stop switch, position the ignition from OFF to RUN 3 times, ending in the RUN position. Press and release the brake pedal. Position the ignition to OFF position. Using the start/stop switch, position the ignition from OFF to RUN 3 times, ending in the RUN position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply I did try this with the snap on tool but when it gets to the drivers rear - no sensor detected - this is the 2nd sensor I’ve had fitted with the same results this is the sensor I’ve fitted this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterTechTip Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hmmmm, I would ring up your local Ford parts store and ask what engineering part number they have for TPMS sensors for your car and see if it matches, there are a few variations floating around now and your car may only be compatible with one of them.
