I have a 2018 XL passenger wagon, LWB. I recently had a dash warning come on for low tire pressure but it didn't indicate which tire or what pressure it was at. Is there any way in the dash panel to see which tire is low?

Of the topics available to me to post under, this one appeared the closest to the topic. Please let me know if I belongs elsewhere. My TPMS is not reading the right side tires, light and dash error warning are present. Performed Forscan module reset/retrain - error persists. I had new tires installed and the shop was able to read the tire sensors so they do not appear to be the issue, and the issue was present prior to the tire replacement. After going through the training mode (via hazard method and also with Forscan) and reading the L side just fine, I still cannot get the R to respond. I'm considering that the module is defective so I'm willing to replace it. I've read numerous forums regarding the location of the receiver/antenna, I looked and cannot find it either suggested locations - the front header above the storage shelf or by the rear upper brake light. I also looked behind the glove box trying to find a unit similar to those I saw in the pictures - and nothing. My understanding from the reading is that this vehicle uses the one main antenna type and not individual ones at the wheel wells - which makes sense because I cannot find any at the wheel wells. When searching for the units on line I find two different models - one ranges from 2013 to 2023, and the other from 2019 to 2023 - they have different parts numbers and look different physically. In order to confirm mine I need to find it. I do have other fault codes which I don't believe are related, but in case they are I figured I'd start (with what appeared to be) the least expensive and easy to access. Then I'll work on the rest. Any additional suggestions as to where this unit can be located in this van? Or - thoughts on what else could this issue be? Thanks!

So I have a 2019 Ford Transit Connect XLT. Every time I change over my winters/summer wheels there is a problem with the TPMS. Right now I can't train the summer wheels even by releasing air or even by the tool I ordered on Amazon (el50448). I also had my winters in the back of the van with its own TPMS for a couple of days. The tpms light went on after day 3 with the tires in back. I guess the monitor got confused by the 8 tires and created a fault. I have since removed the winters and put into my garage but still can't train the summers. Anyone else have this problem or any advice?

So I'm having an issue with the TPMS indicator always being on. Various bits of research have led me to believe that the spare (which on my vehicle has a silver rim) did not come from the factory with a TPMS sensor installed (on the four black rims have a sensor). The spare is currently mounted, and one of the original rims is in the spare position. TPMS sensors have never been replaced. Vehicle is a 2013 Transit Connect (original US body style), has ~47K miles and is slightly more than 6 years on the road. obviously it is time to replace the sensors. for the first five years they behaved well, with no sensor misfires. Now to my questions … 1. Can I buy 5 sensors and put one into the spare rim, or do I have to scout around salvage yards to find another black rim ? 2. will the TPMS system have issues if it sees five sensors reporting ? 3. (or) am I being forced to only have the black rims on the road, and the silver rim in the spare position ?

I have a 2010 Transit Connect with 24,000 miles that has been remarkably trouble-free. However, recently the TPMS alarm has been on continuously. After checking air pressure in the tires numerous times and finding the pressure at or above the recommended pressures listed on the door pillar and after twice successfully resetting the TPMS system in accordance with the procedure in the Owner's Guide, the TPMS alarm is still on. I now believe there is a failure somewhere in the system. Perhaps the most likely source of the problem is a decayed battery in one or more of the tire sensors. I read on one website that the batteries typically last about 3-5 years. I have looked on the Ford website for parts and find new sensors (part 1A189) available for $90.02 each, presumably a total of $270 plus labor for replacement. That would go a long ways toward buying a new set of tires. I suppose I could do nothing and accept the continuous TPMS alarm. Do I have any other alternatives beside going to Ford and having all 4 TPMS sensors replaced? Could the problem be something other than the sensors? Bob in NC
