Ford Rangers and TPMS
Yes, Ford Rangers have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) installed. The TPMS system in Ford Rangers is a direct TPMS system, which means that TPMS sensors are installed in the wheels. If one or more tires indicate low tire pressure, the TPMS sensors will transfer the information to the vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU). This will trigger an indicator light on the dashboard, either as a low-line TPMS system or by displaying the tire pressure for each tire on the dash in a high-line TPMS system.
It’s worth noting that when one or more TPMS sensors are replaced in a Ford Ranger, a TPMS relearn is recommended to write the sensor IDs to the vehicle’s ECU and turn off the TPMS light.

How do you reset the TPMS on a Ford Ranger?
Add air to all tires (including the spare tire) to 3 PSI over the recommended amount. From there, deflate them completely. When all are deflated completely, inflate them once again to the recommended tire pressure in order to reset the TPMS sensors.
When did Ford start using TPMS sensors?
After the TREAD Act was mandated in 2007, all vehicles manufactured in the United States beginning in 2008, must be installed with direct or indirect TPMS systems. The Ford Expedition uses a direct TPMS system, which means TPMS sensors are installed in the wheel.
How does Ford Ranger TPMS work?
Each wheel is fitted with a sensor that, when your vehicle is on, reports the tyre pressure to the cars computer. If one or more of your tyres has low pressure, the system will display an indicator light on the dashboard. You will then need to check the pressures of each tyre.
Do valve stems have TPMS sensors?
A TPMS sensor should be thought of as having two different parts: the sensor body and the valve stem. The sensor body is the plastic enclosed object mounted inside of the tire that is attached to the valve stem.
How do you tell if my truck has TPMS sensors?
System number one is the rubber stem in most situations you can identify this by removing the valve cap. And looking for a bevel or a long gated section between the threads. And rubber of the stem.
How do you reset the TPMS on a 2010 Ford Ranger?
With and you’ll hear the horn. Sound let’s go ahead and navigate to the right front sensor press the green button. Now we’re at the right rear sensor. Now we will end at the left rear sensor.
How do you relearn the TPMS on a Ford Ranger?
Relearn procedure: Drive
Switch the ignition from OFF to ON (Operating), three times ending in the ON (Operating) position. Depress brake pedal and release. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Switch the ignition from OFF to ON (Operating), three times ending in the ON (Operating) position.
Okay. And it resets. Your reset’s complete. Now. If you then obviously got your menus again there but if you want to go back to your display menu you can push the left button there.
Does a 2009 Ford Ranger have tire pressure sensors?
The Ford Ranger uses a direct TPMS system, which means TPMS sensors are installed in the wheel. If one or more tires indicate low tire pressure, the TPMS sensors will transfer the information to the vehicle’s ECU.
How do you check tire pressure without TPMS?
Thumb Check
All you have to do is push your thumb down on the tire to feel the pressure. Underinflated tires will be soft. You will find your tires to be extremely stiff if they are overinflated. The tire pressure is proper if your tire is not too soft or too stiff as mentioned above.
