Motorcraft TPMS12 Remote Tire Pressure Sensor

My 2010 Ford Fusion dash tiring warning light would not go away no matter what the tire pressure was so narrowed down the issue to the TPMS. This product was a perfect fit for my vehicle (but does require the TPMS Reset Tool which is specific to the Make/Model of your vehicle). This is a complete DIY job if you are comfortable with knocking tires off the rim bead, accessing the valve stem from the inside of the rim, and then remounting/seating the tire back on the rim bead. Warning: BE SURE TO PUT THE VALVE STEM IN THE RIGHT WAY. Learned the hard way that if you get this reversed, it is not easy to remove it. I ended up having to purchase another valve stem because I screwed this up... Refer to YouTube for some good options on how to do this. Saved me hundreds of dollars doing this myself.

This product worked when installed. Within 2 weeks I started to get a reading of sensor failure. I contacted the seller via their Email and it was useless as they basically blamed me for the problem. I was originally asking what their warranty policy was. Never got an answer!

Genuine Motorcraft part in the original packaging... and easily installed this in my F-150. Some of these sensors are getting bad reviews because folks may not be syncing them with their vehicle correctly. I needed a TPMS scan tool to get my 2010 F-150 to recognize the sensor... neither a magnet or letting air out of the tire (as seen on youtube) worked to get the sensor to transmit. Using a TPMS tool to have the sensor transmit during the "training process" did. Then use an OBD tool to clear the error code and the Tire Pressure Sensor Fault cleared. The process: I used a Autel MaxiTPMS TS501 tool to determine which sensor had failed (then I replaced the failed sensor with this part - BTW, the BeadBuster XB-450 is great to break the tire bead and gain access to the sensor), used the TPMS tool to get the sensor to transmit during the Ford training process, then used the TS501 to clear the error code at the end. The TS401 is cheaper but it doesn't have the OBD interface to clear the final error code... but you should be able to drive to clear the code. You can save a few more bucks and use a Ford 1A203 TPMS transmitter as well to to figure out which sensor is bad and to cause the sensor to transmit during the training process... then drive a while to clear the code. Anyway, this TPMS-12 was the key ingredient though and it worked great!! I'm going buy a few more to have on hand when the other sensors fail - which they will since the truck is over 7 years old.

I’ve bought a set off eBay, and bought a set off Amazon, both sensors were aftermarket that said they were real deal Motorcraft couple of them worked, but the majority didn’t and I’m sick and tired of losing money to stupid crap like that these sensors just save yourself ton of money buy the real OEM !I had to stall today and as soon as I use the reset tool, it worked the first time the message is gone and I know they’re gonna last because the manufacture date was 2021!Guys don’t go cheap on this part by Motorcraft or the from the maker Schrader because if you do you waste a lot more time, money and aggravation and see that message about your sensors and you would’ve been better off like me and buy the real factory parts!Again only buy Motorcraft (OEM) or from Schrader they are the company in the UK that makes the majority of all tire sensors for all vehicles!Because the MAIN thing you guys have got to member these other off brands or whatever they might say is real the battery in them could be dead or or is low and will die on you in less than six months and then you’re back to square one! remember that

Worked flawlessly with my 2010 F150 Had tire shop install, they had the hand held computer that read each sensor and helped sync with truckSteps for my 2010 f1501 install valves2 fill each tire to pressure3. Turn key to the off position4. Push down on brake pedal and release5 turn key on and off 3 times stopping at the on position (on is turning key just before the engine turns over, you are not starting the engine each time)6. Press the brake petal and release7 turn key off8 turn key on and off 3 timed again leaving it on the on position9. Puts The truck computer into the learning mode (horn will honk one time)10. Place the hand held computer by the front left time 180 degrees from the valve, hold until you here the horn honk once ( takes about 2-3 seconds at each timeDo the same step at the passenger front tire, once you hear the honk, continue clockwise to the back passenger and then finely the drivers side back tire.11 turn off the truck to take it out of the learning mode and Shazam it’s doneSome people will tell you only to sync the replaced valve but it only takes an extra 1 min to pause at each tire and insure everything is doneA tire shop should have the hand held computer (my shop had the. MaxiTPMS which has the instructions for my truck programmed.He changed me $20 to remove the tire, replace the valve and borrow his computer. Ford dealership wanted $125 per tire. Entire process to program took about 2-3 min

Price

The TPMS sensors that I received will not work with my Ford F250. The dealership tells me that the Sensors are on the wrong frequency. The Scan Tool will test the battery life and read the tire pressure, however the Body Control Module will not register and of the TPMS.

I’m late on this review. I bought these a year ago. I drove my truck for months ignoring the tire pressure light because I didn’t want to pay $60 ea for these sensors at the dealership. Anyway, these have been working for a year now. I just had the tire pressure light reappear. We added air to the tires and the light went off. I had to write this review because I remembered reading some negative reviews. Just want people to know this product works fine and will save you some money.
