Hi Gents,

I searched this forum and didn't find this topic so I started a new one.

I bought a set of winter tires and rims from costco. Then I bought Ford TPMS from the dealer. I hated them, they asked for $95 CAD each TPMS, and fortunately I kept the receipt which my truck sale person was trying to sell the tires package to me. It was $54CAD each. so I showed them the receipt and they agreed to sell me $54 CAD each instead of $95 CAD each. Wow, I lose the trust on them. They said after installing TPMS, I have to come to dealer for re-programming it. I don't want to go back in the near future.

So I am thinking if I can program TPMS by myself?

I googled it and found this too from amazon


Anyone has this TPMS relearn experience? Before using this tool, what procedure do I do inside the truck to trigger this relearn process?

Another questions:

- after relearn it, each time I change the tire set like summer and winter tire sets, do I need to relearn them again?
- could I use this above tool to my Acura MDX TPMS relearn as well? or do I have to buy another one for Acura?

Thanks Guys.

 

Your manual will tell you how to activate your new sensors. Make sure the tires/rimes with the old sensors are not close to the truck when doing the relearn.

I wouldn't spend the money on the tool. If you do it right it's not needed.

 

What year? Newer trucks don't need training they auto-register.

 

 

Yes. Drive 20 miles or so.

 

What year did they start to auto register? My 16 sure doesn't and I just drove it around 450 miles.

 

My '16 self registers. When I put my new wheels on with new tires and new tpms', I didn't have to do a thing. Also when rotating tires, it self adjusts.

 

My '15 self adjusts when I rotate tires.

 

or 30 kms

 

what dealer is it that told you to come back for reprogramming? That is total BS
