Tire pressure monitoring system reset procedure

WARNING: To determine the required pressure for your vehicle,

refer to the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label

located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. See Vehicle

loading in this chapter for more information.

Note: The system reset procedure needs to be performed after each tire

rotation.

Overview

To provide the vehicle’s load carrying capability, this vehicle requires

different recommended tire pressures in the front tires as compared to

the rear tires. The tire pressure monitoring system equipped on these

vehicles is designed to illuminate the low tire pressure warning light at

two different pressures; one for the front tires and one for the rear tires.

Since tires need to be rotated to provide consistent performance and

maximum tire life, the tire pressure monitoring system needs to know

when the tires are rotated to determine which set of tires are on the

front and which are on the rear. With this information, the system can

detect and properly warn of low tire pressures.

System reset tips:

• To reduce the chances of interference from another vehicle, the

system reset procedure should be performed at least three feet

(one meter) away from another Ford Motor Company vehicle

undergoing the system reset procedure at the same time.

• Do not wait more than two minutes between resetting each tire sensor

or the system will time-out and the entire procedure will have to be

repeated on all four wheels.

• A double horn chirp indicates the need to repeat the procedure.

Performing the system reset procedure

Read the entire procedure before attempting.

1. Drive the vehicle above 20 mph (32 km/h) for at least two minutes

and then park in a safe location where you can easily get to all four tires

and have access to an air pump.

2. Place the ignition in the off position and keep the key in the ignition.

3. Cycle the ignition to the on position with the engine off.

4. Turn the hazard flashers on then off three times. This must be

accomplished within 10 seconds.
