I’ve went through the same thing. I couldn’t get my new ones to ever work. I’ve bought the little pairing tool, took to tire shops, etc... Ultimately I just disabled it with forscan so the tire light would go away.

You have the wrong sensors based on your original post

Ordered these for my 2017. I did the "relearn" procedure in my driveway before installing to make sure they'd work. Paired just fine.

Note that the sensors I received weren't FOMOCO labeled parts like many reviewers said. My guess is these are coming out of the same factory in China as the Ford parts.

Can you tell me what that procedure was? I just got mine and it would be nice to test them out to see if they worked.

Note - I did this with the sensors in my hand and with the TPMS tool (TPMS19 tool - search for it on Amazon if you don't have one). They'll read low (2psi) but at least you can verify they're working before putting them in a wheel.

1) Make sure ALL TIRES ARE INFLATED TO SPEC
2) IGNITION SWITCH in OFF position
3) PRESS AND RELEASE BRAKE PEDAL
4) Turn IGNITION SWITCH TO RUN 3 times ending in RUN (within 10 sec)
5) PRESS AND RELEASE BRAKE PEDAL
6) Turn the ignition switch back to OFF.
7) IGNITION SWITCH TO RUN 3 times ending in RUN (within 10 sec)
8) The HORN SOUND sound indicates vehicle has entered into TPMS RELEARN mode.
10) Place the top of the TPMS triggering tool against the sidewall of the DRIVER’S SIDE FRONT tire in the location of the valve stem. TRIGGER SENSOR, wait until the horn sounds
11) Once the horn sounds, move on to the PASSENGER SIDE FRONT tire and repeat the process. Each tire should only take 30 seconds or less.
12) Once horn sounds continue on to the PASEENGER SIDE REAR tire and
13) Once horn sounds continue on to the DRIVER’S SIDE REAR tire.
14) You may now turn the ignition to OFF.
· If the horn does not sound, the sensors were learned successfully.
· If the horn sounds twice, then the process must be repeated because there was a malfunction.

Thank you for that informative post. I putting together a set of Raptor wheels and searched all over and nobody could come up with an explanation of the 2 different sensor frequencies. (315 mhz and 433 mhz)
Some would say the 433 MHz is for international vehicles. Your document clearly states: 315 MHz for vehicles and the 433 Mhz IS FOR TRAILERS!

Thank you!
