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.
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.

Ford TPMS types and Fitment
The manufacturers of the Ford TPMS are Schrader Electronics, VDO and Lear. VDO and Lear manufactured the banded sensor whilst Schrader manufacture the valve stem TPMS.
How does the Ford TPMS work?
The tyre pressure monitoring system measures pressure in your road tyres and sends the tyre pressure readings to your vehicle. You can view the tyre pressure readings through the information display. The low tyre pressure warning light will turn on if the tyre pressure is significantly low.
Can I reset my TPMS myself?
Drive at or above 50 mph to reset the sensor for 10 minutes. This causes your sensor to reset the next time you turn on your car. With the vehicle off, turn the key to the “On” position, but do not start the car. Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Is my car equipped with TPMS?
You can often identify a direct TPMS sensor by examining the valve stem on each tire. If the valve stems are metal and appear more substantial than typical rubber ones, your vehicle is likely equipped with direct TPMS.
Does Ford have TPMS?
Ford TPMS readings are provided by pressure-sensing transmitters (TPMS) that are mounted inside each tire and sent to a central computer (ECU) for display on the dashboard.
How do I know if my truck has TPMS sensors?
Using a washer rubber grommet and a hex nut. Number three is the banded sensor. It is fastened to the drop center of the wheel inside the mounted tire and wheel assembly.
