I don't know enough about TPMS to figure out how to find an answer to my question using Google . . .

I bought a set of winter wheels and tires, with TPMS. They are from a 2013 Ford F150. They are going on my 2016 F150. Is a TPMS sensor a TPMS sensor is a TPMS sensor? Or are they unique to vehicles?

Maybe.

Chances are reasonably good they will work. You need a tool to introduce them to the vehicle.

Yes they should be just fine, you'll need to find a tire shop to relearn the TPMS system. We only charge $10 for air pressure check, tpms recalibration here

Fords are awesome in that you do not need to do a relearn. Just drive it. I've had them acquire new sensors while in the shop!

True, as long tire pressures are the same on both ends. On my Transit Connect where the rears were much higher than the fronts I had to do the relearn. Fortunately no special tools were required, just an air compressor and a bunch of button pushing.

Most manufactures relearn on their own, oddly enough GM does not (maybe the only one actually?) And sometimes fords have issues without the tool. which causes a ton of confusion also after someone rotates their tires without relearning the positions. We get customers in constantly with a low "left rear" tire with 80psi....and a flat right front tire...

You'll need to log in to post.
