Just found this post on line and was wondering if anyone has seen or tried it? Does it really work? I will be changing to winter wheels and tires soon and was about to purchase the Ford TPMS Reset Tool, but if this works why buy the tool.
1) Make sure your tires are inflated to the recommended psi. Mine is 40psi.
2) Turn ignition to the on position. If you have a push button start, push the start button without pressing the brake pedal.
3) Push the hazard light button 6 times. The horn should honk and you should see "Train left front tire" in the LCD display between the tach and speedo.
4) Release air pressure in the front left tire until you hear the horn honk. The LCD display should now read "Train right front tire".
5) Release air pressure in the right front tire until you hear the horn honk.
6) Repeat for the the right rear tire, and then the left rear tire.
7) You should now see "Training Complete" in the LCD display.
8) Fill your tires back up to the recommended pressure.

Never tried it but does sound logical... I guess we'll find out if it works or not.
I swapped my Brembo wheels and tires with Boss 302 wheels and tires. The boss wheels had the original sensors in them. They worked without me doing anything. Never got a dash warning light or anything.

So I did this and instead of it saying complete it says tires not trained- repeat..I repeated the entire process and still I got the same thing..tires not trained- repeat..what am I doing wrong?
I really don't know; but I have a feeling that "training" might not be the same as "synching." it sounds like "training" is calibrating the sensors for the signal when pressure is low. "Synching" is connecting the sensors in the tires to the system in the car, so they can talk to each other. Just a wild guess, but I'm thinking maybe you can't "train" them if they are not previously synched and talking to each other.
I recently installed new tires and wheels and to my surprise no tpms light. I even started it and let it run few minutes on lift still no tpms light. Once light does appear I will deal with it. I have a way to make it go off. Lol but its gotta appear first.
However the weather is bad here and my 2013 GT has just 135 actual miles-so driving it in snow is out of the question (im assuming light will come on after driving mile or so).
While its on my lift and in garage I wanna install supercharger and do some mods which include a tune.
I would almost bet a Texas farm that the tpms is a separate module and has nothing to do with ECU but......
If when I do get the tpms light-will it effect a tune or hinder someone from installing a tune?
Trying to get my project all wrapped up so come spring it will be done. Thanks.
no, pretty sure the TPMS will not cause any trouble with loading a tune; yes pretty sure it is a separate module
I have swapped wheels and the system automatically accepted the new ones with no synch; I am not sure exactly why that worked that way, but I believe they were OEM sensors (they were Ford OEM wheels) and that might be why they synched themselves with no assistance
As long as the Sensors are Motorcraft they should not need to be trained, both the Mustang and F150 have had new Motorcraft Sensors in different wheels and never got a light.
