07SGT Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 The battery in my 2007 SGT recently died and I replaced it with a OEM Motorcraft BXT 96R-590. The battery was out of the vehicle for about 18 hours before being replaced. Immediately upon starting the vehicle the TPMS fault was displayed and will go off only by hitting RESET but then comes on again. Any ideas? Thank you.

jmn444 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 drive it! it takes a number of miles for the sensors to send the correct signal to the car that all is well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Thank you. My SGT is pretty much of a garage queen. Any idea how many miles to correct? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmn444 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 the sensors in the wheels can be reset/reprogramed, but that really isn't likely the issue... I seem to remember that you have to drive for a certain amount of time above a certain speed, but beyond that I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young768 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 From my experience and what I understand, you need to drive above 20 mph for more than a minute for a TPMS Low Pressure Warning to reset. If it is a TPMS Fault, it may have to be reprogrammed. I know you can get a programmer from American Muscle as I got mine from there or the dealer should be able to program the sensors for you.

MyBlueHeaven Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Mine did the same thing when I disconnected the battery to do some work on the motor. I think i was putting a new throttle body in or something. Anyway, the sensor was doing the same thing once i reconnected the battery. I was getting really mad/frustrated, decided to let it go till the next day and see what happened. Turned out when I got in the car the next day the tpms light on the dash was off and all was well. I guess it just took some time for the sensors marry up again. Give it some time or drive it like the previous poster stated. It will work itself out.

No thanks to FORD and my window sticker. Back to your question, for the car to "Check" the tires you have to drive it. Specificly you have to drive it over 20 mph for 2 minutes. Drive the car and it will fix it's self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
