Dennis, I presume these are the original US sensors? Unfortunately those are incompatible with the EU cars as they work on a different frequency. The only way to solve this is replace them with EU sensors (433 MHz). The cheapest you can get these is (surprisingly) at the Ford dealership. I paid 114 euro for a set of 4 including VAT. They will also have to scan and connect them to the car for you. You cannot do this yourself. I found out the hard way, since two of my original sensors were destroyed when my winter tires were installed. Profile replaced them at 85 euro each and they couldn't even get them to connect, I had to go to the dealership to get rid of the errors.
The sensors btw are part of the airvalves, so you'll have to have the tires removed and reinstalled and rebalanced.
The good news is that the car is supposed to be capable of remembering 2 sets of sensorvalves, so if you want to keep your original wheels for example for winter duty then you don't have to get them reconnected every time you change wheels. You do need to remember which wheel goes at which corner though, otherwise you'll get errors again. It's quite annoying.
