[TonyJ5150]

For those of you who have installed new wheels with new TPMS valves...what was required to get them to sync?
Thanks

Mine synced as soon as I put them on. I didnt actually do anything.. I have the tool though.

Edit* I have ford sensors

My new wheels came with non OE sensors, they wouldn't sync. Had to by the tool from CJ.

You can drop by Discount Tire - they will program them for free. Or buy the $30 training tool. If you have OEM Ford, they will sync on their own.

If you he the Ford part # sensors, it should be automatic. I added my new wheels about 8 weeks ago, never had to do anything with the new sensors to have them work correctly.

My dealership took the front wheels (with tires on them) off the 2016 I traded in for my 2017 and put on the 2017 and the front wheels/tires off the 2017 on the 2016 and I was surprised but the tpms all reset themselves on the 2017. Reason for switch had a little wiggle in steering wheel on the 2017 but the 2016 didn't have it. It was decided one or both wheels may have been a tad out of round. Only had 3000 miles on the 2016 tires. That was the easiest fix since they were courteous enough to do it.

If I rotated my wheels and tires, everything should sync up automatically for the new side, right?

I put the left wheel/tire on the right side and visa versa for the front and rear. I have PSI readings on the cluster for all four corners but I wasn't sure if the readings were mixed up.

For example, if the front-left tire reads 36 PSI is that really for the front-left tire or is it for the front-right tire because of the rotation?
