Simplest tuner

All I I want to do is turn off TPS. (Tire pressure sensor)
I want to rotate tires myself, w/o needing to reset TPS.
(another Ford screw up)

So you want to spend $300+ on a tuner when you can buy the TPMS reset tool for $13 on Amazon? Makes sense. I’ve got some oceanside property in North Dakota to sell you if you’ve got that kind of money.

You can turn off tpms using FORScan. 20 bucks, a laptop, and 15 minutes of research.

Yep. Much cheaper ways of doing it. Or buy the tuner and enjoy the hp gains.

Unless you have different specified front/rear pressures, why bother doing any reset?
The warning on the dash doesn't tell you which tire is low....

AFAIK, the tuners can only change the TPMS set point, not turn it off.

You shouldnt have any TPMS issues with a tire rotation. Now if you plan on a second set of wheels, you will need a way to turn off TPMS if you dont want to clone your current sensors. As others have said, just turn it off with Forscan. Thatss the route I went since I use two sets of rims for summer/winter.
