It's also possible that you got lucky and ended up with all the wheels in the right locations. The way to tell for sure would be to swap two wheels now and see if the one with lower pressure automatically moves to the new postion.
Hello How long did the car take to recognize the new sensors?Actually this car (and all Ford's I have worked on at least) do not work like this. The TMPS's transmits data wirelessly direct to the BCM. There is nothing in-between those two devices. If you rotate your tires, the BCM needs to relearn what location the tires are in.
Below is from the Mach-E repair manual with an overview of how the TPMS works and detailed instructions on how to retrain the BCM to learn the location of the TPMS's. HOWEVER, there is a much easier way to retrain the BCM especially if you do not have the Special Tire Pressure Monitor Activation tool. Open the drivers door and turn on the ignition (do not start the car). Press the emergency flasher switch 3 times on and off. The horn will beep once and you will get a message on the center display "Train Left Front Tire". Go to the left front tire and let air out until the horn beeps once. This is usually around 30 lbs. Next go to the Right front and do the same thing, then Right rear and Left rear in that order. After you let the air out of each tire and it reaches around 30 lbs, the horn will beep once. When done, the display will read "Tire Training Complete". Turn off the ignition.
Just to make sure the car didn't not recognize which location the tires were in, I switched both front tires around to see if it knew where the tires were. I just got through swapping the front springs out on the car (I will post this in another thread tomorrow) and had not put the tires back on yet. I have 40 in one tire and 32 in the other. The car didn't recognize that I switched the tires.
On another note, I have in the past couple of weeks replaced the tires and wheels on the car a few times with new TPMS's in each set. They are not the OEM Ford TPMS's as I like the short metal stem once rather than rubber. I do not have to train the BCM to recognize the new sensors. As long as they are 315 MHz sensors, it automatically pairs them however you do have to train the BCM to recognize their location as I mentioned above.
About 1-2 miles of driving so fairly quick. I’ve had some sensors that were almost instant.
Not having any luck with the ones I’ve had I’ve driven over 50 miles
If that car hasn't recognized them in 50 miles, it's not going to.
Did you get any one of the several different sensors that are known to work mentioned here on this forum?
Since those are cloneable sensors, they probably came with no sensor IDs on them. I know that’s the case with the Autel sensors that I use.So the sensors I put in were recommended on the Ford website as aftermarket I spent all day trying to get them to link with the car with no success. ended up going to a tire vendor and copy in the old sensors code to the new sensors and got them to work. As of now they do that is
So now I have two sets of tires with the same code hopefully if I ever have to change back they’re good to go.
Yeah, it was later determined that the car does auto-learn the positions.
That listing doesn’t say anything about being compatible with a Mach-E. Did the seller say they would work?
@markboris bought these a while back so they should. 315 Hz... seller asked me make and model as well...
They appear to be programmable, so I guess it would depend if the seller programmed them properly for the MME.
