i have a 2018 f150 supercrew 4x4 and have found some new tires and wheels from a 2022 f150 platinum for a great deal
dealer is telling me tpms sensors aren't compatable with my truck. anyone have any ideas oh this ????

 

parts.ford.com lists both 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors for 2022 F-150. Useless website. Doesn't say how to know which one needs.

Entered the VIN for my 2018 at https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/ and was told to use F2GZ-1A189-A which is the 315 MHz part. They don't list anything after 2019 yet.

RockAuto also lists 315 and 433 sensors for 2022. So there is a chance the wheels have 433 MHz sensors and you need 315 MHz. I don't know how to tell without using a hand-held TPMS reader.

 

If I remember correctly, several years ago NA went to a standard of 315 MHz for the prime mover (truck/tractor) and 433 MHz for the trailer.

 

That would be wonderful if it is that simple. It might be. But a TPMS69 is listed as 433 MHz for 2022 F-150 and TPMS47 is listed as the trailer 433 MHz.

TPMS68 is shown as the 315 MHz for both 2018 and 2022.

 

FWIW, I have ‘21 Platinum rims on my ‘18 Lariat and TPMS works fine.

 

You said the dealer told you not compatible, but did they actually test with their Checker?
Go to another dealer and ask them to do a check but take a wheel well far enough away from your truck before the test is done to be sure there is no miss communication with your wheels.
The sensors have an ID code in there Transmit signal the Test Unit detects as the frequency along with another ID for the truck receiver to tell what corner the sensor is on by channel number learned assignment after tire rotations are done.
For the low cost, consider investing is a Tool, then there is no question. Check CJ PONY as one source for about $54.

Good luck.

 

I don't think he has the wheels. Stated he found the wheels, said nothing about trying the wheels. Pre-purchase research, I assumed. Good for the O.P.!

The CJ Pony tool is not a reader and not useful for determining whether the 2022 wheels have sensors compatible with the 2018. It simply eliminates the tire deflation step from the training sequence. A proper TPMS tool such as an Autel TS-508 can be set to read as a 2018 F-150 then if it can read the new wheels then they will be compatible. Then the TS-508 gets plugged into the vehicle's OBD-II port to write the new sensor ESNs. About a minute later the vehicle is ready to drive away with fully activated and registered TPMS sensors.

 

new f150 owner here.
This is helpful.... thanks! I just bought a set of mounted 2021 Platinum take-offs with sensors left in them. I have a 2017 and hoping the sync up without issue.
I just dropped my rig at the tire place around the corner to have the new ones, balanced, swapped, and aligned with the new 2" leveling kit installed over the weekend.
Guys at the tire place was not sure if they would sync up.

 

The tire shop should have a real TPMS tool, not just the Genuine Ford activator cited above as available from CJ Pony and Ford dealer parts counters. If the tire shop would set the tool to read 2017 F-150, scan your new wheels, then write the ESNs into your truck, then your TPMS will be fully functional the moment you drive away.

Others have claimed your truck will magically detect and register the new sensors. I do not doubt this has worked for some, but it has not worked for all. There is a procedure in the owners manual of cycling the ignition switch, pressing the brake pedal, horn honks and headlight flashes, among partially deflating each tire going around the truck. The activator mentioned saves one from having to partially deflate the tires.

If you have TPMS tire pressure display the above procedure is needed to know which corner the tire is mounted. Manual says you only have to do this if front pressure is different from rear. Only then does the warning system care where the wheel is mounted. Again some people claim the truck will magically find the new corners but I don’t think so. To do so the truck needs a TPMS antenna in each fender, which I don’t think it has.

The brute force quickest and surest way is the TPMS reader which might cost $250 to buy. Something a serious tire shop should have.

 

great info.
Thanks
