Hello, I have a question about tpms system, in 2016 ford is possible to reprogram to show not low tyre warning but enable to show actual pressure of each ryte in cluster?

Do your wheels have tyre pressure monitors fitted inside of them ?

I thought a 2016 Grand C-max was still using the Deflation Detection System (DDS) method so it would not know the pressures of the individual wheels.

Its sensors ir all wheels, i dont know they are smart or not, but if diagnostic says they set to 30psi so they somehow should know pressures, if so, maybe there is option to show in cluster pressures, not only resset display, maybe 🙈😁

Hi Rolands. If you're not sure about your cars TPMS sensors then because of your cars age the batteries in those sensors are caput. New genuine Ford ones are very reasonably priced. If I remember right I paid £26 for 4 from a local Ford dealer. 

I suggest you phone yours, give them the reg number of your car and you'll get Correct sensors and they won't need setting. I found that when I replaced all 4 on my Focus. I went to a local tyre fitter and for a tenner a wheel he replaced them, balanced the wheels and put them back on. I've had no issues since. 

Always worth buying genuine and possibly paying a few quid more But no hassle and headaches.

Hi Vlad, that's not the OP's problem. He has a car which has the earlier warning system that just tells him that one of the tyres is low but without further information.

What the OP is wanting to do is reprogramme the car so the instrument cluster shows the actual pressure of each wheel like it dose on later cars, for example like the Focus Mk4. It will depend on the BCM and IC as to whether the software will support those changes.

Ah right Unofix. I hadn't realised. But doesn't the 'older' system sensors have batteries in them? 

Early tpms used the change in road speed of a wheel with low pressure via abs sensors. I have no idea if c max was still using that method or went to actual sensors like the focus did in 2014.

The first system used Deflation Detection System (DDS) didn't use any wheel sensors. It actually used the pulses from the ABS system. It cleverly worked out that if a tyre was going flat the rotation of that wheel would be faster than the other 3 as it's circumference got smaller the more the tyre deflated. 

Either way I don't think the cluster has the capacity to display individual tyre pressure even with forscan. 

Blimey that sounded like a very clever system but more than possibly flawed hence the latter change to the battery operated TPMS system as we know now.

probably its possible only in convers clusters 🙄

Something has come to mind. I remember my 2014 Ford Focus Titanium x had TPMS. Therefore by destination I can't believe that 2 years later Ford were still using an 'outdated' tyre pressure monitoring system. 

I would be inclined to say to you Rolands for the sake of a tenner or there abouts, ask a friendly tyre place to remove 1 tyre from its wheel and physically look at whether or not there is a TPMS sensor there. I'm of the thinking since your car is 2016 it will have the 'newer' system. 

But you've mentioned 'probably it's possible only in Converse clusters' 

I remember Converse in my 2014 Focus and again I'm wondering if your 2016 car has it.

No need to remove a tyre to check for a tpms sensor. The rubber tyre valve will have a single protruding ridge around the valve if has a sensor. Just feel for the ridge. 

Edit, just checked a 16plate c max on auto trader and that got the 433mhz tpms sensors. 

This type of sensor.
