How to Train a Ford TPMS Sensor
To train a Ford TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor, you can follow these steps:
1. Make sure your tires are inflated to the recommended psi.
2. Turn the ignition to the on position. If you have a push-button start, push the start button without pressing the brake pedal.
3. Push the hazard light button six times. The horn should honk, and you should see “Train left front tire” in the LCD display between the tachometer and speedometer.
When the message center displays “TRAIN LEFT FRONT TIRE,” place a magnet on the valve stem of the left front (LF) tire pressure sensor. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the TPMS module. Within two minutes after the horn sounds, place the magnet on the valve stem of the right front (RF) tire pressure sensor. Repeat this process for the right rear (RR), left rear (LR), and spare tire, if applicable .
After completing the training procedure for all the tires, the horn will sound twice, and the message center will display “TIRE TRAINING MODE COMPLETE” .
It’s important to note that the tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done in an area without radio frequency (RF) noise. RF noise can be generated by electrical motor and appliance operation, cellular telephones, and remote transmitters.
If the TPMS module does not recognize any one of the five tire pressure sensors during the tire training procedure, the horn will sound twice, and the message center will display “TIRE TRAINING MODE INCOMPLETE.” In this case, the procedure must be repeated .
Please keep in mind that these instructions are specific to Ford vehicles. Other car manufacturers may have different procedures for training TPMS sensors.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

What type of TPMS does Ford use?
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 do you calibrate a Ford tire pressure sensor?
One push it on again. Two push it on again three you heard the beep. There. And you’re going to see train left front tire that means it’s recalibrating the tire pressure sensors.
Can you reset Ford TPMS without tool?
Resetting Your Tire Pressure Light
Attempt to reset the TPMS sensor by driving at least 50 mph for 10 minutes. The next time you turn the car on, the light should be off.
Can you relearn TPMS sensors without a scan tool?
Some vehicles relearn automatically when you drive them. Others require a TPMS scan tool to complete the relearn.
How do I manually reset my Ford TPMS?
Locate the TPMS reset button (usually beneath or near the steering wheel), and hold it until the light on the dashboard blinks three times. Release the button, start the ignition, and the light should be off. Add air to all tires (including the spare tire) to 3 PSI over the recommended amount.
How do you relearn a Ford TPMS sensor?
How to enter the Ford TPMS learning mode?
- Make the gear in P position.
- Ignition switch to OFF, press and release the brake pedal.
- Turn ignition switch from OFF position to RUN position 3 times and nd at RUN position.
- Depress and release the brake pedal.
- Ignition to OFF position.
How do I put my Ford into TPMS training mode?
Sensor Training
Turn the ignition to the OFF position. Turn the ignition to the RUN position three times, ending in the RUN position. Do not wait more than two minutes between each key cycle.
Do you have to program Ford TPMS sensors?
Every replacement TPMS sensor must be “relearned” to the vehicle following the prescribed OE relearn procedure, regardless of whether it is an OE or aftermarket sensor.
How do you manually relearn a Ford TPMS?
When all are deflated completely, inflate them once again to the recommended tire pressure in order to reset the TPMS sensors. With the vehicle off, pop the hood of the car and use a wrench to disconnect the positive battery cable. Turn the car on, honk the horn for about three seconds, and reconnect the battery.
Manual relearn procedure (push-button start):
With the vehicle OFF, push and release the brake pedal. Push START button 5 times (NOTE: 8 times if 2x-to-RUN) Press and release the brake pedal. Push START button 6 times (NOTE: 9 times if 2x-to-RUN)
