TPMS Question

[xgto]

Just bought a set of 18" FRPP takeoff Chrome bullets & tires used for my 2007GT.
The guy wasn't sure if the wheels had the sensors in them when he bought them for his 2005 GT from NTO.com in 2007. I installed the wheels and not until 2 days later about 70 miles I finally got a TPMS monitor malfuntion warning. Nothing about low pressure. The warning went away when I press the reset button and has not come back on again.
Is it possible that the sensors are in but the system needs to be reset ?

Any shop with a TPMS tool can tell you if the sensors are in there by putting the tool by the wheel and taking a reading to see if there is a sensor transmitting. If so then they will have to reset the sensors to your BCU

My tire guy just checked them and the sensors are in the 18's. Now I have to reset the BCU for the change from 17's to 18's according to the ford owners manual.. The tire guy had no clue how to reset them.

You need a TPMS sensor tool.

Go to your dealer.

I just got brand new take off GT500 wheels/tires. Same exact problem...Tire Pressure Monitor Fault.

Apparently the reset sequence on the Mustang is backwards from most other Ford cars, but basically it involves hitting the brake a few times and cycling the key on/off a few times.

They did it in 15 min for free.

Now the car is fine.
