2005 Explorer tire pressure warning system

Hi,

I needed to repalce a tire valve on my 2005 explorer.
(wife + curb = wheel, tire, control arm and $$)

Anyway, I now have a sensor failure alert on the dash.

How do i get the tire pressure system to accept the new sensor?

A friend of mine has a Snap On Modis and that didn't even show any tire pressure options.

I know the computer is on the CAN...Can any of the PC based scanners on the market get to it?

Thanks, Howard

There should be a reset button in the glove box or under the dash.

Your owners manual will tell you where it is.

Thanks for the help 87xlt but that's not it.

I just paid a dealer to reset it and they wouldn't let me actually watch but I think it goes something like this....

cycle key 3 times, hit brake pedal twice, cycle key 3 more times ending in the on state, then put a magnet over each valve stem one wheel at a time. Each time you apply a magnet to the wheel you should hear a beep indicating the sensor was read.

If there are any ford mechs out there can you please confirm whether this is all / the correct steps. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!
