TPMS is driving me nuts!!!!
OK my 2009 E350 work van has this STUPID TPMS on the tires and of course my junk Ford three year bumper to bumper warranty is over even though my van only has 28k on it and now my TPMS is acting up. i rotated the tires last month and i reset the TPMS and not three miles down the road the TPMS warning light came on and it wont shut off! I tried resetting it about 50 times i rotated the tires back to the old position i aired them up to 50psi front 80psi rears and still nothing. My dealer said the drive train warranty doesn't cover the TPMS only the bumper to bumper so I'm gonna have to pay 100 dollar an hour labor plus whatever is wrong with the TPMS system. Is there anyway i can try and see whats wrong without blowing hundreds of dollars on a system that is TOTAL JUNK?

If you dislike Tire Pressure Sensor system so much....
Why even worry about "whatever is wrong with the TPS system" or think about "blowing hundreds of dollars on" it?

thats funny, my dealer told me they are unrepairable and i had to buy a new one.
How do you check the batteries?
And could i just go to the local tire shop i use and have them replace the battery?

In FORD nomenclature TPS is Throttle Position Sensor.
Looks like TPMS, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, is driving you nuts!!!!
Just for the halibut I Googled & instantly found this info that may help:
Ford TPMS - Ford TPMS Tools - Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
If you want to deal w/the "STUPID TPS...TOTAL JUNK" it might be useful to first ID which is installed on your '09 E350.
In the meantime tell us about your GSP.

It might help you to try the link & positively ID which TPMS system is on your Econoline.

i checked the link you gave me but they don't like the E or F series trucks. only cars and suv's, so i really don't know. And the scan tool would be nice but I'm not gonna buy it just to check the sensors when the dealer will do it and they'll most likely tell me one is bad for some reason and charge me a arm and a leg for a new one...

and my German Short haired Pointer is a awesome dog! Hes a few months shy of two years old, hes been hunting since he was 6 months old. I hunt him mainly for Pheasant, Quail, and Chucker but this year i took him Goose hunting in September and he did awesome. Hes hyper as all heck so he has a problem sitting still in the doggy blind when in the field goose hunting but he does his job. Hes a HUGE house bum though, he HAS to be with me on the couch watching tv, or in bed next to me at night hes a daddy dog to the fullest. Loves hunting and riding in the front seat of the F350 i think he likes checking out girl dogs when they drive up next to us
this is after Quail hunting last week, he was still in hunt mode cuz the Dove that landed on the street light was a goner!
and then his bad indoor manners! He does everything hes not suppose too
and the evidence my girlfriend says i love the dog more than her

Sorry, did not even try to Connect the Dots for you. Link looked like a lot of good info.
Can't tell if "don't like E or F series" they certainly list "F series trucks". Presume '09 E350 has Ford Branded TPMS.
My 3rd GSP turns 9 next week. He's caught literally hundreds of Armadillos, a bunch of Squirrels, 6 Wild turkeys & some Ghost crabs, Mice, Lizards & Opossums. Last year he killed a Cottonmouth & 2 years ago last August, he caught an Alligator. All while on a 50' leash. Hasn't figured out how to stalk Woodchucks during visits up North.

Actually it's pretty EZ for most good size hunting dogs to "kill a Cottonmouth!?". The trick of course, killing the snake w/o getting bit. Cottonmouths usually hold their ground & if they retreat it's slowly, so it's nothing to catch one. My last GSP survived 2 Cottonmouth bites, didn't even see the 2nd. My 1st GSP survived a Copperhead bite.
To my knowledge shorthairs.net is the most active GSP website. Don't even need to "join up" just to read forums. Like most international online forums contributors range from newbees to pros.
