Oem tpms

So I finally mounted my OEM beadlock capable wheels that I purchased from Craigslist. They were brand new with the OEM BFG's still installed, including the TPMS sensors. The sensors obviously didn't automatically sync up. Should I go to the dealer to do this, or can discount tire do this cheaper.

How many miles have you driven? Go drive and they should sync up. Ford TPMS will sync when you drive.

I've driven over 100 miles. I don't think different ford sensors will just automatically sync.

Check the manual and sync them yourself...The manual does a good job of explaining how to do it with no tools...

Will try tonight. Thx

Good luck...

You need the Ford TPMS tool. When I was changing my tires I broke a sensor and got a new one from the Ford dealer. After installing the sensor and driving many miles my TPMS warning was still on. I tried the learning method that requires no tools and that didn't work either. I finally bought the Ford TPMS tool from Tire Rack, followed the instructions and in about two minutes no more TPMS warning light.

I thought I would also add that from the reading I have done there are two learning procedures. The first which requires no tools only tells the truck which position each sensor is mounted in. The second which requires the tool will pair new sensors to the truck. Hope this helps.

This is weird. I know guys that have bought new TPMS and they sync themselves after driving for a few miles.

Anyhow, I will buying new TPMS sensors soon and I will report back on whether or not they sync.

I bought the TPS sensors from eBay and had them installed on my new wheels and tires and I never had a light come on at all.
