New Ford Performance TPMS sensors

[GR11M]

I bought new Ford Performance TPMS sensors with my new wheels I got from the US earlier this year, however I'm unable to get them sync'd. I've tried using the fob against the valves in the order specified on the dash and I've tried using the deflating the tyre method too but neither of them work

leave it a couple of days it should pick them up automatically

It's been 3 or 4 months already

fuck knows then it took a few dozen restarts over a few days before it picked up mine but they did register eventually.

Pretty sure the US sensors use a different frequency.
315MHz 433MHz etc

Just swap the ones from your original wheels surely?

I used the original ones form my original wheels and worked fine.

They're still on the stock wheels, which have fairly new tyres on.

Does that mean they won't work ?
And why are they different ?

Just dif laws for allowed frequencies to be used in the uk and yea i would imagine they wont work

Yes, different frequency in the US. I bought a set from Ford in the UK and they synced up straightaway. If you swap yours out you could sell them to someone with an import.

Hmm I wonder if there's a way to reconfigure them, they must have some sort of firmware on them.

When I ordered a new set of wheels to fit winter tyres on my 2016 GT I could not get any sense out of the supplying dealer or a local Ford dealer about calibrating the TPMS. They were telling me i had to go to the dealer & have them recalibrated each wheel swap. Cancelled the Ford TPMS & the tyre supplier used their own. They copied the code off existing sensors & applied to sensors on new wheels. Need to take care to mark corner when taking wheels off & refit in same place. No recalibration needed on swap.

It looks like these are 315mhz, I assume we use 433mhz over here ?
It also looks like TPMS sensors can be reprogrammed, I just need to find out if these Ford Performance ones are.

 

[GR11M]

I'm still struggling to find someone that can reprogramme these sensors. The sensors need to be programme directly and not through the car via the OBD2 port, which no one I've found so far can do.
