This process worked well with my 2010 Edge SEL The Forscan software I downloaded this weekend had a caution about the quality of the currently available ELM327 Scanners, and the warning was repeated when I activated the software while connected to the vehicle. However, everything worked as indicated that it should in this video, the TPM system is now off and the vehicle is fine and absent the annoying message and warning light. Thanks for posting this information and the detailed "walk-through!"

[@emailjosho]

This was so helpful for me! I upgraded my tires to some 2021 F150 tearoffs from a guy who added lifted tires, and a lift kit. My new tires are brand spanking new, but they don’t have the tire pressure monitoring sensor inside of them. Super nice to turn the silly warning light off for only 20 bucks.

[@korey752]

Worked like a charm! I was getting the tire pressure monitor fault even with new sensors installed. I just put on new wheels without sensors so I needed to disable the TPMS function. Thanks for the video!

UPDATE: 07-29-2022... Last night I received the ELM327 adapter you linked to. With it, I got the correct menu with the options necessary to make the change and I just used it to successfully switch my TPMS to DISABLED. Yippee!!! While in there I also turned off my BELT MINDER, so no more incessant chimes when I'm hooking up a trailer or my wife is taking off a jacket with the seat belt not latched. Next, I'm going to look into programming a new ignition key. I have two but one key no longer works the remote lock/unlock buttons. Back in my office, I wanted to look at my LOG. I didn't save it, so no LOG to see. Bummer! So that's my little tip... on the bottom of the screen hit the DISC icon and save your LOG. Best $20 spent in a long time... Thank you!! ORIGINAL POST: So I tried to do it this morning on my 2011 F-150 Eco Boost. It didn't run correctly... The log says "This adapter has CAN bus compatibility problems and can not be used in some functions." I then noticed I did not order the adapter you listed. My adapter LOOKS identical, but it isn't what you linked. I've ordered the one you link to and will try again when it gets here. I fully expect success once I have the correct adapter! I'll post an update... Thanks for this video.

[@RandomAutomotive]

Yeah post a update for sure - for some reason FORScan is VERY particular with what adapter you use. Hopefully the new one will do the trick!

My 2010 F-150 would randomly display TPMS message on a long trip. It would reset after stopping for awhile and restarting. The message would come back on after another lengthy drive. I found out by watching FordTechMakuloco if you have a cheap usb adapter plugged into one of your 12v accessory port it would disrupt the signal of the tire sensor and trigger it. The original TPM still works to this day.

[@RandomAutomotive]

You know, I’ve heard of this.. Something about the adapters interfere with the 400Mhz range and could cause that. It’s also true in some public safety vehicles I’ve seen adapters interfere with UHF radios. So that’s a very valid point. My understanding with this truck is it was an old Terminix fleet truck. Apparently when they remounted tires on it, they didn’t bother with TPMS. I found that out much later after this video.

Great video! Will the vehicle pass inspection with TMPS disabled (N.C.)? Also, can the rear parking sensor be disabled? 2012 Escape. Thanks

[@RandomAutomotive]

I’m unsure about NC. I know here in Tennessee only certain counties (mainly Metro areas) do vehicle inspection, my county does not. In the larger cities here TPMS isn’t part of it - mainly emissions. However I can’t speak for the other 49. Since it’s public knowledge, I’m sure the inspectors office (DMV, municipality, etc. (whoever handles it in NC)) would be glad to tell you. I don’t believe rear parking sensors can be disabled. I know in older vehicles it can be turned off with a button. But parking systems became a “life safety” device at some point before rear cameras were mandated by the US govt.. I haven’t heard any success stories of disabling them through FORScan though.

[@dirt69sbm]

I was able to change the placecard tire pressure requirement using this module, it is not too hard to do. My tire pressures were changed to 55 psi because the load range on the tires were "E". At one time this truck, F150, was used by the Hilti Tool Co. for demonstartions and had alot of stuff bolted to a slide out bed, I can only assume there was a generator of some sort they used to demonstarte their tools on construction sites. That is why they put load range"E" tires on, I guess. none of this can be confirmed. MY issue was that when I went to get new tires I put on standard range tires with a 35# rating, I could not raise pressure to 55, as the max was 51# for standard load range. I had to make 2 changes in 2 different palces using some of the information from this video and also information from another video I found on you Tube from a guy who had a dually and needed to change placecard tire pressures on his dually. Carefully following thes instructions I was able to get my tire pressure Monitoring System working with the correct pressures of 35#. So happy. Oh by the way my 2016 Ford F150 told me that the module in this video was not compatible with this vehicle, it worked anyway.

[@johncolvin2234]

I have a 2010 raptor 6.2. Will the same scanner that you have in this video do this function, or is the 2010 year specific. Just trying to purchase the correct scanner the first time lol. Thank you for the walkthrough, I'll be doing this as soon as I get my scanner.

[@RandomAutomotive]

It’s based off of certain modules that Ford placed in the trucks. In my experience 2009 and up is a safe bet. I know for sure it works on a 2010 F150 - so I see no reason that the Raptor shouldn’t work as it has the same CAN module as the Explorer, F-Series, E-Series, etc. So not specific if newer than a 2009 (usually). If that makes sense.

Try reinstalling the driver and try again. If that don’t work it could be the oddball issue I’ve heard on some SD fords (08-14 use the same computer and sometimes the TPMS is a separate feature). If that’s the case - it could be changed in the binary data.. but that’s above my scope.

[@RandomAutomotive]

I’ll be honest, I haven’t heard many success stories on ‘07s and ‘08s.. I think the module is different. What limited info I’ve heard, Dawn is that it can be done - but it’s more of changing a data string in the ECU instead of a point and click like you see here. Apparently, it can be done - the systems we’re just built different. I know TPM has been around a long time, but mandated in 2007. So the concept was relatively new to Ford in 2008.

@jimsusanmoon6762 - Just checking, you did buy the "wired" version correct? I have had issues with the wireless version. I would recheck your windows drivers and make sure those are up to date before you buy another. Hopefully this helps!

[@manna5610]

will this work on my 3010 e350 super duty? front passenger tpms will not connect. I have replaced 2x already. the antenna or the module must be bad.

[@RandomAutomotive]

I'm not 100% sure. But, I know alot of the Ford vehicles share the same CAN module's or similar. And being the E series and F series are almost identical, I don't see why it wouldnt!

Once you disable it, can you undone it? Can you enable it again?

Yup. Just the process in reverse! I disabled it before this video to trial and re-enabled it for the video.

The OBD port under the dash (scanner tool hookup) then the other end to the PC

[@randallzacharias6521]

Does disabling the sensor that way cause it to fail emissions?

[@RandomAutomotive]

In most areas, no - since the TPMS isn’t part of the emissions system. This is case by case and it is advised to check your local and state guidelines on emissions though. If you are doing a vehicle safety check - it could fail.

[@M0N0T0N0US]

Hahahah your tire pressure has nothing to do with emissions 🤣🤣🤣 that made my day!

[@PH_INFO_101]

​@@M0N0T0N0US FYI, Randall posts a legit question. Currently, 30 States require Emissions Testing with 15 of the 30 requiring a Vehicle Safety Check. If the vehicle is 2007 or newer the TPMS must be fully functional to pass the test. Hahahahahahahahaha. It's ignorant know it all's that make my day.

[@M0N0T0N0US]

@@PH_INFO_101 okay smart guy, he didn’t ask if it will pass a safety check, he asked if it will pass emissions. So yeah again my statement stands, tire pressure has nothing to do with emissions.. Asphincter says what?

[@PH_INFO_101]

@@M0N0T0N0US I get your point, while I agree with your general statement, you were being a little hard on Randall. I was giving Randall the benefit of doubt assuming he resided in one of the 15 states that require an Emissions and Safety check. Apparently, only "smart guys" know, in states that require both an Emissions Test & a Safety Check, they are done at the same time on a single document. In an attempt to not confuse ignorant people, the testing sites simply call it an "Emissions Test" (if you fail the safety portion of the Emissions test, you fail the Emissions Test). It's difficult for a smart guy to dumb it down for you but it's the best I can do.

Wonder if it will work on a 07 Ford Ranger?

[@RandomAutomotive]

I'm not sure 100% about the Rangers. It's been a while since I've been in a ranger - so correct me if I'm wrong. The Rangers have a odometer readout on the left lower portion of the cluster - under the tach that doesn't read out anything but odo/trip info. So - no error message, just a TPMS light. Usually on the older systems - It can be done but not the method shown here. You would have to modify the code on the checksum in FORScan - which I wouldn't recommend unless you have a little more experience.

[@pl747]

@@RandomAutomotive you are correct. I don't have any tire tire sensors and would like to turn the tire warning light off permanently.

@@pl747 Gotcha. Yeah the method in this video won't help you there. 'Theoretically' it cannot be disabled - however there are some forums to modify the above mentioned code. I'll attach that to the comments thread for you. Just be careful if you do modify any checksums. Also, If you haven't - subscribe, and If I get more info I'll stay in touch that way.

Awesome I will have to pass that along because I’ve had numerous folks ask about the edge. You may find otherwise on a forum, but I don’t think mileage correction is a thing. (Maybe in the more advance, codes portion). Just because, you know, someone (not in your case). Might buy the thing then sell a 347,000 mile Taurus (if it’s intact) and put 64k on it lol
