Where are the TPMS sensors on a Ford Focus?
The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors on a Ford Focus are installed in the wheels of the vehicle. These sensors communicate the tire pressure information to the vehicle’s ECU (Electronic Control Unit) using radio frequency (RF) technology. If one or more tires indicate low tire pressure, the TPMS sensors will transfer this information to the vehicle’s ECU, which will then display an indicator light on the dashboard.
It’s important to note that when one or more TPMS sensors are replaced in a Ford Focus, a TPMS relearn is recommended to write the IDs to the vehicle’s ECU and turn off the TPMS light. This relearn process ensures that the new sensors are properly recognized by the vehicle’s system.

How much does it cost to replace a tire sensor?
Summary. The cost of replacing a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor can vary greatly depending on the type of vehicle, brand and type of sensor, location of replacement, and labor cost. The average cost can range from $50 to $200 per tire, with the average cost being around $100 to $150 per tire.
How do I permanently turn off the TPMS light on my Ford Focus?
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.
Do TPMS sensors need to be replaced with tires?
No, not necessarily. TPMS sensors can definitely outlive a set of tires, sometimes many sets of tires, so it’s perfectly fine to leave the same set installed with the wheels when fitting a new set of tires. It’s a good idea to evaluate the TPMS sensors during a tire service.
Can I replace tire pressure sensor myself?
In conclusion, Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors (TPMS) are an essential component of any vehicle and can be replaced by the average person with the right tools and techniques.
Where is the TYRE pressure sensor on a Ford Focus?
Pressure sensors are located in the tyres and operate using batteries which eventually run out.
How do I find out which tire sensor is bad?
The only way to be 100 percent sure which sensor is the culprit would be to use a scanner to scan the tpms module, there should be a code set indicating which sensor is bad. On a side note, 30 psi sounds a little too low for a tire pressure sensor to me, but I could be wrong.
How do you manually turn off TPMS light?
Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it. Start the car and wait about 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh. You will find the tire pressure monitor reset button under the steering wheel. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual if you can’t find it.
Generally, you’ll find the reset button under the steering wheel.
Why is my tire sensor on but tires are fine?
The causes can be a malfunction, or the weather changes. Other reasons why your TPMS light may still be blinking is because your tire may be damaged, or you might have gotten a recent tire replacement. Overall, the reasons can be vast, which is why it is best to take your car to a technician for professional diagnosis.
Where are your tire sensors located?
Where is the Tire Pressure Sensor Located? Typically, each wheel on your vehicle has a tire sensor mounted on the inside of the tire. Many vehicles use a specially designed tire valve that has the sensor integrated. Other vehicles may have the pressure sensor mounted to the inside of the wheel.
