NOTE: Although the three different system use similar methods for communicating,
the tire pressure sensors are not interchangeable.
Banded Sensor
The valve mounted sensors (also known as a Schrader Valve Sensor) are one-piece "bolt-on" valve mounted
sensor where the sensor and valve stem are molded together. The sensor is secured in place by a hex nut and
uses a rubber grommet to prevent any leaks. This sensor was replaced by the Banded Sensor.

2014 Ford Escape SE
REMINDER INDICATOR RESET PROCEDURES Ford / Lincoln / Mercury - 1985-14
Beginning in 2009 with the Escape and F-150, a two piece snap-in valve mounted sensor was used. The sensor
and valve stem are separate pieces which are screwed together and can be replaced separately.
The sensor is referred to as "snap-in" because it uses a more traditional rubber valve stem for installation and
does not use a hex nut fastener or rubber o-ring for attachment.
NOTE: If tire pressure sensor is replaced, it will need to be trained. The TPM system is
not affected by wheel and tire rotation.
NOTE: As ambient temperature decreases by 6°C (10°F), tire pressure decreases 1 psi
(7 kPa). Because tire pressures fluctuate with temperature changes, tire
pressures must be set when tires are at outdoor ambient temperatures. If the
tire pressure may drop enough to be detected by the TPM system, which will
activate the low pressure warning light.
NOTE: When the tire pressure warning light comes on solid and message center
displays "LOW TIRE PRESSURE", check the air pressure of all tires and adjust
to the specified cold pressure listed on vehicle certification label (found on
driver's door or door pillar). Drive the vehicle at 20 mph (32 km/h) for at least 2
minutes. If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, a TPM
sensor Activation procedure may be needed. Make sure the warning light goes
off. If the warning light stays on, there is a malfunction in the TPM system. See
appropriate manufacturer service information.
NOTE: When the tire pressure warning light flashes for 70 seconds and then remains
illuminated, after bulb-check has been performed and message center displays
warning messages, there is a malfunction in the TPM system. See appropriate
manufacturer service information.
NOTE: Under the following conditions, the TPM system may not function properly:
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle,
in an area without Radio Frequency (RF) noise and at least 3 ft. (1 m) away from
any other vehicle equipped with TPM system. RF noise is generated by
electrical motor and appliance operation, cellular telephones and remote
transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.
NOTE: A new tire pressure sensor is shipped in an OFF mode (or battery saver mode),
and must be turned ON before it can be trained. To turn the sensor on, inflate
the tire to the recommended inflation pressure and wait at least 2 minutes, then
continue with the sensor training procedure.
1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position, then press and release brake pedal.
2. Turn ignition switch from OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in RUN position. Do not
wait more than one minute between each key cycle.
3. Press and release the brake pedal.
4. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
5. Turn ignition switch from OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in RUN position. Do not
wait more than one minute between each key cycle.
NOTE: The horn will sound once and the tire pressure warning light will flash if
train mode has been entered successfully (if equipped, the message
center displays "TRAIN LF TIRE").
6. Depending on TPMS sensor type, place transmitter activation tool on the left front tire wall:
Band-On Type Sensor: Opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. See Fig. 4
Valve-Mounted Type Sensor: Near the valve stem.
Press the activation button. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire pressure sensor has been
recognized by the Driver's Door Module (DDM).
NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this
time, the transmitter activation tool must remain in place, in the
appropriate position relative to the valve stem.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, move the vehicle to
rotate the wheels at least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same
sensor again.
NOTE: If the DDM does not recognize any one of the 4 tire pressure sensors
during the 2 minute time limit for each sensor response, the horn will
sound twice and the message center (if equipped) will display "TIRE NOT
TRAINED REPEAT". The training procedure must be repeated from the
beginning.
7. Within 2 minutes after the horn sounds, place transmitter activation tool on the right front tire wall, in the
appropriate position relative to the valve stem. Then press the activation button to train the right front tire
pressure sensor. Repeat procedure for right rear and left rear tires.

8. When the tire 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 turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn
sounding. If the horn sounds twice when ignition is turned off, the training procedure was not successful.
NOTE: Since tire pressure information is updated once every minute, it may take up to
a minute for warning light to turn off after tire pressure has been adjusted. If
vehicle has been parked for over 15 minutes, system information will be
updated once an hour. In this case, it may take up to an hour for warning light
to turn off after tire pressure has been adjusted.
NOTE: When the tire pressure warning light comes on solid, check the air pressure of
all tires and adjust to the specified pressure listed on tire label (located on the
driver's door or "B" pillar). Drive the vehicle at 20 mph (32 km/h) for at least 2
minutes. Make sure the warning light goes off. If the warning light stays on,
there is a malfunction in the TPM system. See appropriate manufacturer service
information.
NOTE: When the tire pressure warning light flashes for 20-30 seconds either at start-up
or while driving, check to see if a spare tire is being used. Repair as necessary.
Make sure the warning light goes off. If the tires are adjusted to the appropriate
pressure, spare tire is not in use, and warning light continues to flash, there is a
malfunction in the TPM system. See appropriate manufacturer service
information.
WARNING: In the following procedure, a magnet is used. Death or serious injury can
occur if magnetically sensitive devices are exposed to the relearn magnet.
Magnets can affect pacemakers.
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle,
in an area without radio frequency (RF) noise. RF noise is generated by
electrical motor and appliance operation, cellular telephones and remote
transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.
