TPMS Question
I have a chance to purchase 4 OEM rims with sensors. My question is, After I buy and mount new tires will my truck see the sensors automatically or will I need to make an appointment with Ford service? I have a 2019 F250

I've googled this very same topic and can't seem to get a straight answer. There's learning new TPMS sensors, switching between sets of previously learned sensors, and then tire rotations - aka does the vehicle know which wheel is in which location. There seems to be no consensus, and parties on each side insist they are right. I'd love to find a single thread where everybody agrees on the one reality. (sometimes I wonder if trim level affects this, and that's the cause of the confusion).

worst case if your truck doesn’t recognize them is take them to a tire shop and have them use their tpms tool
Also make sure the batteries in your sensors are good before you get it all installed. They do go bad relatively quickly.

For my '19 f350 I purchased brand new wheels and tires w/ new untrained Ford TPMS and had to run the ECU train procedure myself to train the new TPMS as they would not train automatically from driving.
The Super Duty ECU needed to be triggered for TPMS training using a very specific ignition key cycle I found here (hazard light method referenced in manual only works for tire rotation of previously paired TPMS) followed by TPMS "wake-up" activation with my TPMS handheld tool (air deflation should work too for Fords TPMS).
Or you could just go to the dealer or tire shop and pay the $100 charge to get it done.

See what mean? Handful of replies and already different answers in the same thread. I’ll do the thing and see if it happens by magic. If not, do the hazard light thing. If that doesn’t work, do the ignition key thing.

I bought a set of take off wheels/tires that had no TPMS sensors in them. Took them loose to Costco and paid them to put the sensors in. Took the loose tires home, put them on my truck, and it read them without me having to do anything.
