How to Reset the Tire Pressure Sensors on Your Ford Vehicle

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Reset Procedure

If you purchased a Ford vehicle recently, your car offers a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that continually monitors psi readings in all four tires. The system uses sophisticated sensors attached to the valve stem. If you’ve gotten a tire rotation done lately, you may notice your TPMS display has the tire positions all out of whack.
