What kind of tpms sensors do I need to buy to work with the factory system? I could not find a part, part number, or price on fords site. Truck is a 2011 350. Any help is apreaciated.

 

If you are after an adjustment to the warning light points and you can find a garage or dealership svc dep who will cooperate and has an IDS programmer, you can make changes doing the following:

1. Followed path: Module Programming> Programmable Parameters> TirePressureMonitoring System

2. We saw some warning pop-ups that you just click "OK" and/or "YES" through.

3. We then set the pressure for front and rear. I saw every setting available. I chose 40 psi for front and rear.

I am curious which brand name of TPMS users would suggest are the good ones.
Thanks for any suggestions people can offer.

 

Agreed, I need a manufacture, model #, or some specifics. Even better if there is a way to disable the tpms that would be better.

 

Due to lack of replies I picked up 4 sensors from ford and had them programed for the truck. I only found three common brands of sensors locally and any one I have spoke to runs without them and deals with the light. Thank you sneaky for the info.

 

Might be some useful information regarding Ford TPMS sensors at this link.

Good info !!! and some need a tool to reset ?!?! Dang Congress idjuts !!!

Can we no longer adjust the air pressure to what we want ?!? Wow...
the wife's Audi is an indirect system and it's software reset-able...

Inflate the tires to the pressure you want and select a reset button in the nav menu to say "This is my new air pressure" !

but on my Super sophisticated 2012 250, air pressure is now a 12 step process !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TPMS reset tips:
• To reduce the chances of interference from another vehicle, the TPMS reset procedure should be performed at least three feet (one meter) away from another Ford Motor Company vehicle undergoing the TPMS reset procedure at the same time.
• Do not wait more than two minutes between resetting each tire sensor or the system will time-out and the entire procedure will have to be repeated on all four wheels.
• A double horn chirp indicates the need to repeat the procedure.

Performing the TPMS reset procedure:
It is recommended that you read the entire procedure before attempting.
1. Drive the vehicle above 20 mph (32 km/h) for at least two minutes and then park in a safe location where you can easily get to all four tires and have access to an air pump.
2. Place the ignition in the off position and keep the key in the ignition
3. Cycle the ignition to the on position with the engine off.
4. Turn the hazard flashers on then off three times. This must be accomplished within 10 seconds.
If the reset mode has been entered successfully, the horn will sound once, the TPMS indicator will flash and the message center (if equipped) will display TRAIN LEFT FRONT TIRE. If this does not occur, please try again starting at Step 2.
If after repeated attempts to enter the reset mode, the horn does not ound, the TPMS indicator does not flash and the message center (if equipped) does not display TRAIN LEFT FRONT TIRE, seek service from your authorized dealer.
5. Train the TPMS sensors in the tires using the following TPMS reset sequence starting with the left front tire in the following clockwise order:
• Left front (Driver’s side front tire)
• Right front (Passenger’s side front tire)
• Right rear (Passenger’s side rear tire)
• Left rear (Driver’s side rear tire)
6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the left front tire; decrease the air pressure until the horn sounds.
Note: The single horn chirp confirms that the sensor identification code has been learned by the module for this position. If a double horn is heard, the reset procedure was unsuccessful, and must be repeated.
7. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the right front tire; decrease the air pressure until the horn sounds.
8. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the right rear tire; decrease the air pressure until the horn sounds.
9. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the left rear tire; decrease the air pressure until the horn sounds.
Training is complete after the horn sounds for the last tire trained (driver’s side rear tire), the TPMS indicator stops flashing, and the message center (if equipped) displays:
TRAINING COMPLETE.
10. Turn the ignition off. If two short horn beeps are heard, the reset procedure was unsuccessful and must be repeated.
If after repeating the procedure and two short beeps are heard when the ignition is turned to off, seek assistance from your authorized dealer.
11. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure as indicated on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. See Vehicle loading - with and without a trailer in this chapter for more information.

OMG - What a mess - the wife's is MUCH simpler

 

What happened to being able to just swapping tires for spring and fall? IMHO we should be able to select off the system for those of us that inspect the tires on a regular basis. Thanks guys for the info.

 

Government says we'll hurt ourselves.

 

H&S will turn the TPMS completely off. No more annoying lights and chimes for me!!

 

Cool! Right there would haved saved me $240. Have to wait on H&S for now I have spent too much on the trucks already one more part and I might be single hmmmm...

 

Any Utah brothers/sisters know of a dealer or garage that will change the TPMS setting? So far Ed Kennley and Willey is a big NO!

 

After several attempts to program aftermarket sensors, I gave in and bought FoMoCo tensors. $83 ea, but it works like a charm now.

 

STOP IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one more reason TO tune it (if 150 more hp is not 150 more reasons enough !)

I don't want to tune it just yet !

Only 4k miles and half of it towing so need to 'learn' it a bit more...

BUT, like looking at other women - it doesn't hurt JUST to look

Is there a towing tune or do you just detune to tow ?

and after a bit of ownership, I may be convinced that my dealer set the tpms down to lower than 55 psi as that is what my truck had for air pressure when I bougth it and it's not warned me yet....
