Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Location Calibration: Activation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. With the ignition OFF, press and release the brake pedal.
  2. Using the start/stop switch, position the ignition from OFF to RUN 3 times, ending in the RUN position.
  3. Press and release the brake pedal.
  4. Position the ignition to OFF position.
  5. Using the start/stop switch, position the ignition from OFF to RUN 3 times, ending in the RUN position.
  6. The horn will sound once and the TPMS  indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN Left Front (LF) TIRE.
  7. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the special tool must remain in place at the valve stem.

    Place the special tool on the Left Front (LF) tire sidewall at the valve stem. Press and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the BCM  .

    Use the General Equipment: Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool

  8. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the special tool on the Right Front (RF) tire sidewall at the valve stem and press and release the test button to train the Right Front (RF) tire pressure sensor.

    Use the General Equipment: Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool

  9. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the BCM  will time out and the entire procedure must be repeated.

    Repeat Step  7 for the Right Rear (RR) and Left Rear (LR) tires. The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE. For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure will be verified by positioning the ignition to OFF without the horn sounding. If the horn sounds twice when the ignition is positioned to OFF, the training procedure was not successful.

  10. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS  sensor identifiers trained to the BCM  and document them on the applicable warranty claim.
  11. This step is required to clear DTC  B1182:55, cause the BCM  to exit the manufacturing mode and to make sure there are no other concerns with a newly programmed BCM  .
  12. If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new BCM  , clear any DTC  and carry out the BCM  On-Demand Self Test.
