Where is the TPMS sensor ID on a Ford?

TPMS Sensor ID Location on a Ford
The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor ID on a Ford is located on the sensor itself. The sensor ID is a unique number that needs to be registered along with its position on the car with the tire pressure monitor ECU. This registration process is necessary if any of the system components are changed, such as rotating the tires, changing sensors, or replacing the ECU .
The TPMS sensor ID can usually be found printed on the sensor. It is typically a number between 7 and 10 digits, consisting of numeric digits (0-9) or alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-F). The ID may be located on a label fixed on the bottom of the sensor, where the potting is.
In some cases, a TPMS scan tool can be used to retrieve the sensor ID. This tool can provide the serial number of the sensor.
It’s important to note that tampering with the TPMS system or misrepresenting your identity is prohibited, and it’s recommended to follow proper procedures when working with TPMS sensors.
