TPMS synching tool

[DukeCLR]

Yes, we have the PP as well with the Pirrellis, but our new wheels have the Nitto NT 555 G2 which are directional as well as staggered

Have you tried syncing them without a tool?

No, I don’t have the tires mounted yet. I have not seen that as an option?

I thought they auto synced, I haven't bought new wheels yet but I thought that's the way it worked, you just put on the new tires and drove for awhile. The snow tires for two of my families 2023 Fords worked like this.

Most car manufacturers do, I’ve just been watching the information on the forums as well as videos from the 550.

remember folks, even with the Ford TPMS tool, there is a HUGE difference in the programming procedure for rotating tires with TMPS sensors that are already "registered" to the car's computer, vs the procedure to "register" TMPS sensors that are not in the computer.

The way I get around this ( I do have a ATEQ TMPS tool) is I get NAPA programmable TPMS sensors and when I program them for a particular car I clone the existing serial numbers that are on the car and use those to program the new sensors.

This way you have 2 sets of wheels with TPMS sensors that have transponder numbers that are already in the cars computer.

I would encourage everyone to find a friend with a TMPS tool, and read the sensor numbers and write them down in case you ever have to replace one your local NAPA can program the replacement sensor using the OEM serial numbers.

According to my quick look, Ford is using both 315 and 433 Mhz sensors

If you have a friend at a NAPA store their TPMS tool for the EZ sensors will read your sensor and tell you if it is 315 or 433 Mhz, they can also clone a set of sensors for you. I have been paying about $33 a sensor for the EZ Sensors lately and I program them myself.

The 315 Mhz sensors are the same ones they have been using since the dawn of time (after the Feds forced them to do it after the Firestone Tire Explorer roll over fiasco) and there are a bunch of 315Mhz activation tools on Amazon for 15 bucks.

I started this thread with asking for help with the syncing tool. I bought 4 new TPMS senors from our dealer for the S650. We have new wheels and tires and will be keeping our original wheels and tires. The set up we are putting on are directional and staggered so we will not be able to rotate the tires. My concern is that most of the sync tools available are most likely for 315 mhz and not the 433 which I believe these are? The tool is not available through the dealer, perhaps it does not matter but I have yet to hear conclusively what we need and where to get it?

The new sensors are dual band 433 and 868.... 433 for backwards compatibility and 868 used in the S650. The previous Gen sync tool [ford performance) still works.

I posted what to do. I was in the same boat as you. Working perfectly without a tool.

I bought a set of the 433Mhz from my Ford dealer as these are the ones specified. It came with a tool as well. $140. I told myself f it and called my Service dude. He told me to meet him in a half hour. I did. 15 minutes later my TPMS system complete and up-to-date. btw, these were installed in aftermarket wells that had 315Mhz TPMS in them that would not work. Before the TPMS sensors were installed I had them put on 4 Goodyear F1 Eagle Asymetric 5 tires.

Had a new Ford TPMS sensor installed on wheel by dealer. Not sure what he did, but he did say to bring car back in to sync. After I installed back on 24 DH, the car recognized it. Initially pressure high, but after a couple miles it read correctly. Did not have to go bsck to dealer. Have not tried to move tire position.

The last few years, Ford's units have auto-sensed. I have a tool for my S550, but I've never had to use it.

The Owners Manual describes a TPMS reset process; this re-orients the car's wheels and the corners attached. For example, you rotate the tires, you want the car to know that.

When performing a reset or re-synching, Ford's guidance is to do so at least 3ft/1m away from any other sensors in that frequency. I confirmed that with my DD (Toyota); mine did not re-sync until minutes later, when I was well clear of traffic.

From my experience and these threads, it's best to stick with Ford OEM sensors. Anything electronic, your best route is through a Ford dealer. Third-party vendors, eBay and other sites, sell anything from outdated (weak or dead batteries) to counterfeits.
