Note: If the horn does not sound, restart the procedure from the beginning.

Proceed in a clockwise order starting with the Left Front (Driver Side) tire.

Remove the valve cap and decrease pressure until the horn sounds.

Check: A single horn tone confirms the sensor location is learned.

Note: If you hear a double horn, the reset was unsuccessful and you must restart.

Move to the Right Front tire and deflate until the horn sounds.

Move to the Right Rear tire and deflate until the horn sounds.

Move to the Left Rear tire and deflate until the horn sounds.

Check: Training is complete when the indicator stops flashing and the dash message updates.

Turn the ignition OFF.

Note: If you hear two short beeps after turning the ignition off, the procedure failed.

Inflate all tires to the recommended pressure found on the door label.

Warning: Stay at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from other Ford vehicles also performing a reset.

Warning: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between tires, or the system will time out.

Warning: If the horn sounds twice at any point, the procedure failed and must be restarted.

Notes

Note: Reset is mandatory after tire rotations if the front and rear recommended pressures are different.

Note: It can take up to 2 minutes of driving over 20 mph (32 km/h) for the warning light to turn off after you have filled the tires.

Note: For spare tires, the system identifies the missing road wheel when the spare is installed. Re-mount the repaired road tire to restore full function.
