How do I check my Ford TPMS?

To check the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on your Ford vehicle, you can follow these steps:
Checking TPMS Warning Light:
1. Start your vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the “ON” or “AUX” position.
2. Look for a TPMS warning light on the dashboard. It typically looks like one of the TPMS displays pictured in the owner’s manual or online resources.
Using TPMS Tools:
1. There are various TPMS tools available that can help you diagnose and manage the TPMS on your Ford vehicle.
2. One such tool is the TECH600Pro, which can diagnose Ford TPMS issues and interface with the vehicle’s OBDII/CANbus to communicate with the Engine Control Unit (ECU) and download the TPMS IDs and their wheel locations.
3. These tools can provide technical information and guide you through the TPMS relearn or reset process for your specific Ford model.
Troubleshooting and Training:
1. If you suspect a faulty TPMS sensor, you can use tools like FORScan to identify the faulty sensor.
2. Some Ford vehicles have the ability to learn the sensor by comparing the TPMS revolution count to the wheelspeeds. If this fails, then training is required.
3. It is important to note that bad timing during the relearn procedure can cause malfunction of the instrument panel cluster (IPC) and display fault messages. Make sure to follow the recommended procedures and update your TPMS tool if necessary.
Please consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or reach out to a certified Ford dealership for specific instructions and guidance on checking and managing the TPMS on your Ford vehicle.
