Disable Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor TPMS Error 2008-2012 Ford Escape for $17

[@22408aaron]

*Please read before commenting* I am not a mechanic. I have tried this on *my* car and *my* car only. I can only suggest that this will work on a 2008-2012 Ford Escape. It may work on other Ford vehicles, it may work on your vehicle! I do not know though, and I cannot tell you whether or not it will work. The only piece of advice I can offer is to buy the OBDII scanner yourself and play with it, you may be able to fix the problem in your car. Obviously that is done at your own risk so don't cry to me if you broke something.

Hey buddy how are you today: 👋👋 I have the same problem in my car, I got 2008 mercury mariner premier 4WD V6. Can I use the elm 327 odb2 too please ??????

[@frankokoye6219]

Thanks for this great video. Ford Escape 2010 here, that TPMS error is ANNOYING to say the least. Ordered the Elm327, downloaded FORScan, requested Extended License key...can't wait to clear that shit out my dash. Thanks, you the man!

[@cliftondavidpowell]

Works! thanks for the discovery! Just so you guys know who can't find the exact same module just check all the module that don't have AS BUILT format written beside them and search for Tire Pressure Monitor. That's what I did and it worked.

[@KokoNailsIt]

I have 2008 Ford Escape XLT and it did work for me I’m so happy. Like he said you do need the extended license which took about 4 hours to get via email

[@SV-lw8jo]

Thank you! I followed your direction and turned off the TPMS on my 2011 Ford Escape. You have saved me over $200.00 on TMPS replacement costs.

[@noname47032]

Gasoline should remove the speck. It needs to be *pure* gasoline though. Zippo lighter fluid will also remove it. TPMS is useless. In the old days we used gauges and checked our tires weekly. We didn't need to be told not to drink the contents of the battery. Too many parts houses and garages are flat dishonest and you cannot test these sensors without spending an hour breaking down the tire to put in a $20 sensor or taking it to a garage and paying north of $100 per tire to have sensors installed. I know exactly where he's going with this: Forscan. I'm about to do the same as neither the feds nor the next guy in traffic is paying $400 to fix my tires. They do not own my vehicle, either, I own it. Therefore I am going to shut down the installed TPMS and use the secondary TPMS I installed: a $13 pack of pressure sensitive valve caps that turn red when the tire pressure drops. $400 for electronic sensors that don't work or $13 for visual indication... let me think... Oh, another way to eliminate the need for this... check your tires every time you gas up. All you gotta do is look...

[@jamessechrist7702]

I have one on the way I am guessing I have to wait till it gets here to get my approval for the Key thanks man

Works! I used the Vgate vLinker FS OBD2 USB Adapter for FORScan HS/MS-CAN Auto Switch I got on Amazon $34 This one has an auto switch. I downloaded FORScan for free. but for the software to make the change you have to subscribe for 1 year for $12 which is cheap compared to the aggravation this message causes. I paid with Paypal and got the code I needed in minutes

FWIW, The dealer quoted me around $135 to fix the faulty TPMS for my 2007 Sport Trac. The sensors are inside the wheel and can't be replaced without removing the tire to get to it. I told them to forget it.

No. There shouldn't be any reason why this would cause a problem.

[@napochulo]

@@philboyxo Join the Forscan forum website. On my 2008 explorer sport trac v6 my 720-01-01 module was in the IC Module configuration (AS built Format) and not in the GEM module configuration. I converted the hex code in mine which was 910549F1F9 to binary 1001000100000101010010011111000111111001 (just google a hex to binary converter). Changed the the 18th digit from a 1 to a 0 as LarryJb explains here in the forums and I now have 1001000100000101000010011111000111111001 . Convert back to Hex and I now have 910509F1F9. Input new hex in 720-01-01 module and hit write. Follow instructions to turn truck off and on. No more TPMS warning with no other issues. I'll update if I something comes up. No more hitting the clear button EVERY TIME I turn on my truck.

Either way you'd be out $17, and I have absolutely no idea why the transmission would shift funny because of this. It hasn't for me.

[@robevans5222]

There is no wiring harness conductor that is incorporated in the TPMS system. It's done via radio frequency communication directly between the in-tire sensors and the vehicle's electronics. Switching off via communication through the OBD port is the only means to basically tell the vehicle's electronics to ignore the absence of signal(s) from sensors whose batteries have died.
