Tpms relearn 2020 ford explorer st / black wheel

I think they are just old sensors and the batteries are dead.

You answered your own question.

This is one of the old ways to determine a faked/cloned part. Ford puts two holes/flaps on the back side of the package bag at the bottom flap. These little flaps help ensure that the bags don't poof up while shipping or storing. The fake bags typically don't have that.

This little tip is from a few years back and the cloners may have gotten better, but I've seen this on faked coils that had a lot of other identifiers when sitting side by side with the real deal. Spark plugs, coils and other high replacement items are typically the ones that are faked. I would suspect that these sensors may fit into that category.

I guess they could have been repackaged in Motorcraft bags. It's like I said though, it's a gamble. Unless I go right to the dealer and get them, I'm just taking a chance. I've been reading a lot of the reviews on eBay and Amazon and while a lot of them are positive, they are from people who just got them. The negative reviews are all from people who've had them for a few month and they quit working. So I think I'm just going to try these: TPMS Sensors. Any reason not to get this type instead of the rubber pull-throughs?

You seem to have a problem getting your point across. "ANY" 315MHz TPMS sensor "WILL" work (whether from ebay or Amazon) provided they are not defective, broken, or inyour case, have dead batteries. As for your question about metal sensors vs rubber, again, it depends on quality. The ones you are looking at are a "Frequently Returned" product. The are probably not real metal stems and just have a metal sleeve you can install over the rubber stem. These usually corrode quickly unless they are SS. Save yourself the headache and just get a set of the rubber pull-through style and try programming them BEFORE installing them. Just place a sensor on top of each tire and run the relearn process to make sure they work.

I picked up a set of sensors from Advanced Auto today and did what you said but it didn’t work. I placed a sensor on each wheel, put the vehicle in relearn mode, message came up to do left front, pointed the TPMS19 1” from sensor, pushed the button, red LED lit up and nothing happened! WTF!!! I tried swapping the sensors around. I can’t imagine I got 8 sensors all with dead batteries. Sensors said 315MHz right on them. Why would my car not be seeing the sensors?

is it possible your Amazon relearn tool is bad? Myself, I would take it to a local tire shop and pay them to program them.

I might try pulling the neg terminal of the battery for 10 minutes. When my TPMS faulted, doing so brought the system online again until the next relearn cycle failed and then faulted.

Supposedly I don’t even need it and only need to drive the vehicle for a bit. I mean, it’s possible that it’s bad. The LED lights up for like 5 seconds after pressing the button. I’m wondering if I need to clear the TPMS fault before it will work. I’m going to take it to a shop that sells rims and tires on Monday. If that doesn’t work I don’t know what else to do. Very frustrating!

When I had my ST in the shop getting 2 TPMS replaced they used a tool to program the sensors. That code should self clear once it see the Sensors. I have no experience in replacement and programming the sensors but I would think a tool would make sense.

There are some universal TPMS sensors that need programming. 315MHz sensors do not and are ready to go. I just had my issues with the stock sensors dying one by one and finally, after replacing all 4, I noticed that the PSI displayed were old and did not update. Then did a manual relearn and all was good after that. If the TPMS19 doesn't result in a response from the new sensors, the system has a problem--hence why I would pull the neg terminal of the battery.

I'm going to try pulling the negative cable today after it stops raining. Maybe there is actually nothing wrong with the sensors I had installed in the wheels to begin with. If it doesn't work, I will clear the fault and try again. If that still doesn't work, I will try getting another TPMS19.

I have similar issue. In order to check your tool if still have old TPMS sensors try to realarm one of them with your tool and see if it works

The old sensors are still in the stock wheels so that's not gonna work. I pulled the negative cable for 30 minutes and tried again. Same f*#king results! Ran a test on my buddy's 2018 F150 and the relearn tool works fine. I used Forscan to try and clear the code but it won't clear. Even tried rebooting the BCM. Everything is pointing to either I got two sets of bad sensors or something is wrong with the vehicles TPMS. I'm going to take a chance and get another set only this time I am going to go through TPMSdirect.com.

My new wheels came today. I loaded them up in a company truck and drove to Discount Tire to have the tires mounted and balanced, then went back to my office to put them on the car. no tools were used at all and all four wheels picked up within three blocks of my office and are functioning perfectly. That’s just another example of what people have been saying for years that no procedure is needed for these cars as long as everything is functioning properly.
