It's about time to get my Nokian Hakkapelliita snow tires installed on a set of Platinum OEM wheels I bought as new take-offs. When I was noodling this, I recall that the TPMS sensors, OEM, could be purchased way cheaper on-line. I just asked the dealership parts counter person what the part number shows for my truck's VIN, he wouldn't tell me, he just said they are "TPMS69". He undoubtedly sensed I was exercising him and wasn't going to buy them there. Does that resonate with anyone, is that a common name for the same configuration part? Is there a magic on-line way to look up part numbers for my specific VIN?

Thanks.

 

I guess that part number is legit, just a quick search. It appears to also have another part # ML3Z-1A189-D?

Thank you! I kinda thought he was making that up, and asked before searching. D'oh!

I have a training clicker I used with my 2016 F150 when I switched back and forth summer/winter. It had a weird procedure needed of turning the key on/off multiple times, tapping brake multiple times, and clicking your heels together 3 times while repeating "there's no place like home". Does anyone else swap wheels who can confirm if the procedure is the same, OR, where I would find the new one?

$83.62 from the dealer, but wow, "Motorcraft TPMS Sensor Kit - TPMS69 $26.99" on Amazon! The Amazon page has the Motorcraft craft logo, ships from Metro 24 Wholesale. Can those be legit?

 

The procedure to place the truck in training mode is in your owners manual. On my '24 it is pressing the emergency flasher light button 3 times. That is just a summary, so read the manual for exact language and timing of the presses, because I'm just going by memory.

And more than a few people tell me that the new trucks retrain themselves when you start driving. I have not tried that, but I can confirm the TPMS19 clicker works great.

 

I really appreciate all the help!

bpounds: thanks for mentioning tpms19, I searched the part number on my clicker 8c2t-1a203-ab, it identifies as a tpms19. So far so good... My wife's Infinity relearns the tire swaps by itself, it takes about a mile until the new ones register. I'll try that with the truck!

 

A side issue...not trying to sidetrack this thread.
Several years ago, I bought a set of 2019 XL take offs, for use as my winter setup. My 2017 would recognize the '19 wheels within the first couple of miles of driving, with no training procedure required. It seems that I've read somewhere on this forum that Ford changed the TPMS frequency that's used, making the older sensors not compatible with the newer trucks. I've searched thru a ton of TPMS threads here but I can't seem to find a definite answer. When I go to Rock Auto and check part #'s between '17/'19/'25, the part #s are different but the 433MHz frequency is common between all of the years, with 315MHz being on a sensor here and there. I haven't yet tried them on my 2025, to see if they work. I guess that I'll just have to mount a pair of the winter wheels, and go for a drive to see what happens.
