Sorry I did not see your post. Bought the TPMS reset tool on eBay. It was about 30 dollars. The tool works, but not with by the instructions in the owners manual. If you need help once you get the tool, let me know.

If you have a Discount Tire store nearby, they will probably do it for you for free.
After screwing with the manual instructions for over an hour, I took it to them and the guy fixed it in 2 minutes, no charge. I gave him a tip.

Finally after 3 weeks....I got the new TPMS to reset. I bought the reset tool and was following the instructions in the owners manual. I used the reset tool instead of letting air out of the tires and it did not work...
However, doing the brake pedal/ignition procedure with the reset tool worked! I read a lot of threads on here and I must not have followed them correctly. I didnt realize the brake/ignition procedure was for the 2010 model. I only thought the hazard light/ignition was the only way to put it in program mode.
Anyways, I am all set...thanks again!

The 2011 owners manual procedure is wrong even though using the hazard lights brings up the correct information on the screen it will not allow you to train the sensors and you get the failed message each time. There is a tremendous amount of good information on these forums.

not trying to beat a dead horse
Okay just so i have this correct even if you swap wheels and tires you can recaliberate the sensor for the new tire. I have the fuel throttle which are compatable witht the tpms sensors. I had the work done well i was deployed they did not put the sensors in when i got home saw this had the sensor installed the other day and the light is still on and info center flashes it. Tryed to have it relearn the sensor like the owners manual said all i did was let a lot of air out so. Just looking to get it off thanks for all the help guys

Thanks for all the points everyone! There's a lot of info that's not documented in the manual. Another really good discussion is here: https://www.f150forum.com/f38/tpms-s...2/#post2383691
