Where'd you come up with "over 100 bucks"?
the Link I provided is for a 79 dollar diagnostic port connection device.
It's a lot cheaper than the amount of time youll waste at a dealer, and that doesnt include what they'll nail you for something you could do yourself the way you want it done.
Once you consider ALL The things you can do w/ ForScan and you might be more willing to make the investment.
This truck is built for the masses not 1 off for us....the tire pressure is set for worst case scenario (towing)....not daily commutes or running around empty.
You can fill the tires back up, put some weight in the back of the truck or just put some tape over the warning light....you make the choice

My tire shop could not, after no less than 3 trips, relearn a second batch of TPMS for my snow tires. The truck just won't recognize them. It's been a bit ridiculous, and I understand this is an issue with the '17 trucks at large. Ford could not give the shop a straight answer, and we went through 5 different sets of OEM sensors provided to us by the dealership parts department.
I have the handheld button that you can use in place of deflating and the shop has their own tool supplied by Ford, but neither has worked. I'm taking the truck to the Ford dealership tomorrow so they can figure this out, as my tire shop literally gave up and said "just take it there and we'll pay the bill."

The method with the hazard button is to learn new position of current sensors.

Try the other relearn method. Press and release brake pedal and the cycle the ignition on and off until you get a horn honk. I think mine was 6 cycles (push button start) and stopping in the on position. Then the rest is the same. Activate tpms at each tire. I believe this method is to learn NEW sensors.

It could also be that the tire shop's tool is not updated for '17s yet. In any case, the truck has been in the shop for almost 2 weeks now for a damned TPMS sensor problem, because the shop was hesitant to give it back to me without it working due to legal issues. I did eventually take it back because I needed my vehicle. It's just been a surprising headache for something that I never thought would be a big issue.

This has actually turned into quite the exodus. After the dealership installed the wrong sensors to make it 7 sets total, the tire shop stepped in again and asked me to bring in one of my stock rims so they could unmount the tires to get the part number of the sensors.
Come to find out that the sensors they found in the stock tires were a completely different set than the several batches we've been given by Ford to date. So now a special order is being placed and I'm hoping to have a working set in the snow tires come next Monday.
It's amazing how complicated these trucks can be nowadays.
