TPMS witchcraft - Replacement not working like original

[blankman]

Oof. I just order the same kit last week for my new wheels. Got it shipped for 104$ , with the programmer, which hopefully i don't need. Now they are having another sale for 99.99$ for the same item.

I was going to order the kit from CJ Performance or others that showed them cheaper, but not sure if they're selling counterfit sensors in a box with FORD on it. So I bought directly from ford.com. If yours don't show the 180 part number on the sensor and say schrader on them, they're probably the wrong ones.

Pretty sure these are the real deal from CJ I received yesterday.

Same box

Let me know when you get them installed and tested on the ford app please. Would like to know they work on other cars.

Will do. Ive gotta send out 3 of wheels replaced so I should at least have them mounted by next week. Although it may not be until I get back vacation after Easter, weather permitting and me getting the ceramic coat done on the wheels. But I'll keep you posted.

I completely forgot about this.

So I had the new tires and tpms installed on the rims last weekend. Threw them on the car Wednesday, the new sensors did not sync to the car as some had said they would, and I gave the tool away to the tech throwing the tires on as a bonus for not scratching the rims when installing tires.

Well guess what, I needed it. Took the car up to mavis, put the car in train mode and someone hooked me up with their tool to use. Car sees them, I see they are insanely over inflated yesterday. So I checked on my phone, app is reading correctly at 39 psi on each tire. Took each tire down to 32psi, dashboard read 32, app read 32. Just drove about 20 minutes, 35 on two tires, 34 on another 2, car read the same and the app read the same.

I don't know how long it takes for this whole thing to happen, but the app is reading exactly what the cars tpms says on the dash almost immediately, at least for me.

There is another method of training the tpms sensors. Basically fill the tires up to 35psi. Put the car into tpms train mode. Start with left front, let air out until car honks. Do the same for the rest.
