Ford’s Use of TPMS Sensors
Ford Motor Co. began using TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) as early as the 2002 model year on the Explorer and Windstar. These systems could be either direct or indirect. From 2006-09, Ford used banded sensors mounted in the center of the rim. In 2010, Ford reverted to valve stem-mounted sensors.
In summary, Ford started using TPMS sensors as early as the 2002 model year, with specific changes in the type and placement of the sensors occurring in subsequent years.
