Never really thought about it but that makes sense. Also: that helper did an excellent job!

[@daileyadventure4765]

great video as a former manager of a tire shop this is good sound information.

[@markking421]

Great video Tim. Thank you for showing how easy it is to set the TPMS. Although I did think you were joking with all the start stop button pushes.

[@Overlanding4Fun]

I thought that it was weird too until I tested it. That programming tool has already paid for itself. Everything else could be done with the tools that are provided with the Bronco.

[@etmccaus]

Added bonus of a five-tire rotation - if you're DIY'ing it on a Sasquatch, you also get a CrossFit workout in!

[@Overlanding4Fun]

Can confirm. I think each wheel weighs around 90lbs each.

[@williamlane6374]

Thank you so very much for showing how to rotate and program the relearn. I have the same relearn module.

[@Overlanding4Fun]

Glad it was helpful!

I am glad you found it useful.

@@Overlanding4Fun honestly I have never had a full spear with the sensors so it would have never crossed my mind

[@mechmotion]

Thanks for sharing. I just did my bronco and it worked perfectly. I got the same tool and did the five tire rotation.

[@Overlanding4Fun]

Glad it helped. Thank you for watching.

Great video Tim, very informative.

[@Overlanding4Fun]

Thank you sir. 😁

[@nikkibrewer3945]

Great video. I may actually try this myself... someday, lol. And what a cute lil helper you have !!

[@Overlanding4Fun]

You should. The tires are a little heavy, so make sure you use your legs to lift.

[@nikkibrewer3945]

He is definitely my mini me.

[@jasonfanphotography]

Do you have any issues with tire balance after rotating? If so how do you determine where to put the clip on balance weights? Thank you.

[@zacharyrodgers597]

Awesome video. Great to know

[@Overlanding4Fun]

BTW Zachary, I don't know if you picked it up a few weeks back on the live stream, but I was an FC in the Navy.

Glad you enjoyed it

[@SAZQACH]

Spot on. Just curious, where did you place the Jack on the rear? Thanks.

[@Overlanding4Fun]

I used the bottom of the shock mount.

[@superioraerialviews7047]

Just subbed and you have potential to take your channel very! Great video, I laughed with the emoji cover of plumbers crack etc. You do well in front camera talking Bronco. Stay Consistent and you will do awesome!!!!

[@Overlanding4Fun]

Thank you for the complements. I am still trying to figure out my own style and each video I try to experiment with different techniques.

[@superioraerialviews7047]

@@Overlanding4Fun you have the IT factor. Just stay consistent find out groove and you are good! I’m a fan and will keep watching brother!

[@1rpeary]

This is great, I think I will pick up one of these tools. However, my struggle is that my TPMS sensors are continuously reading ~4-5lbs lower than actual (based on readings from both of my air tools). This tool isn't going to calibrate that piece, correct?

[@Overlanding4Fun]

The tool doesn’t calibrate the TPM sensors, but I would recommend you reaching out to your dealer and have them tested and or replaced.

[@marcrazy5935]

Did you use the same 100 pound-feet of torque for the spare?

[@Overlanding4Fun]

I just gave it a couple of ugg-a-duggs to tighten them down. The spare not under the same load stress.

[@jasonwalker2639]

Ford spec on the spare = 41 ft/lb

[@chuckhast5740]

Thanks, I was wondering if the spare had a tpms sensor. But I think you might’ve switched your miles and km’s. 65 km is about 40 miles.

[@KameronATM]

How often do you rotate?

[@Overlanding4Fun]

Good question, it depends on the type of tires and the driving conditions that you are experiencing. For example, MT tires are made with a softer compound then AT tires, so they could wear down slight faster then the other. The general rule of thumb is to rotate the tires when you change your oil.

[@elviscastillophoto]

Is there a way to reset the TPMS sensors with FORScan?

[@Overlanding4Fun]

That is a good question and I am going to say, not that I am aware of. FORScan is a powerful tool, but you need to excite the TPMS sensor through centrifugal force, that is how the computer normally receives tire pressure data from the sensors that it is aware of or an external tool that can excite the TPMS sensor in an electromagnetic field so the computer can read the SN of the sensor while the computer is in TPMS learning mode.

[@anonymoushuman524]

I drove 20k miles already with 4 tire rotation. The tires are pretty good. Can I start including 5th tire for rotation from now on?

[@Overlanding4Fun]

Good question. The tire experts would tell you no. In an article that I read, they gave the example of a pair of shoes and replacing one shoe because it had had a hole in the sole, leaving you with two different wear patterns. With that being said, i could see the argument going both ways. Tire wear is dependent upon the driving conditions, the condition of the vehicle and the habits of the driver. 20K on my tires may look different then 20K on your tires. I would look at the condition of the tires on the vehicle and compare them to the spare. The tread depth of Goodyear Territory MT tire that comes on the Sasquatch Bronco, is 13.25 32nds. If the tires are in good shape and the difference in tread depth is not to far apart, I am sure it would be fine. However, I must preface that I would discuss this with a qualified professional before rotating the spare in at this point. When you do replace your tires, I would recommend rotating all 5 tires on a scheduled recommend by the manufacturer. Thank you for watching the video.

[@outlawedmedia4336]

I was wondering if the spare had the TPM already installed

[@Overlanding4Fun]

It does. You will need to reprogram the on board computer for the 4 tires that are mounted each time you rotate the spare in to service.

[@outlawedmedia4336]

@@Overlanding4Fun Lol That "learning sequence" for the bronco was laughable. You'd think they could just put the TPM programming somewhere in that dash. That's why we have fancy computer screens now, we shouldn't need to do silly button dances anymore.

[@Overlanding4Fun]

@@outlawedmedia4336 I could not agree more.

[@Bo-ri4gw]

Where did you jack from?

[@Overlanding4Fun]

On the rear axle just inside of each wheel and on the frame just behind each front wheel. You will have a lot of travel in the front suspension, so I would recommend not lifting the front any higher than you need to remove the wheel.

[@americanfilmproduction7714]

Just a quick question what is the torque spec for the rear tire mount when you are putting the tire back on? Is it 60lbs? I'm pretty sure it's not going to be hundred because it is going to be mounted on that plastic piece of the back hahaha. By the way, thanks a lot for the great video.

[@jasonwalker2639]

Tires on vehicle = 100 ft/lb and Spare = 41 ft/lb

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

I was able to get the first 2 tires to honk, but the 3rd just wouldn't work no matter which position I put the device in. I'm going to bring it to a tire shop

[@Overlanding4Fun]

is the tire you are having issues with the spare? You might need to drive it around for a couple of blocks to generate some juice for the sensor.

[@bluford6949]

Is the programming tool actually necessary to register the TPMS? I have seen posts on facebook that said the spare tire when rotated in, will sync up automatically after you drive a short distance.

[@Overlanding4Fun]

Good question @Bluford. Each manufacture has a different process. With the Bronco specifically, if you do a 4 tire rotation, you will not need to run the relearn process. The computer will be able to determine what position the wheel is at. When you rotate the 5th tire in or replace the sensor, you will need to run the relearn process. The good news is, the tool that I used, is around $20 USD and it will more then pay for itself after a few tire rotations.

[@jasonwalker2639]

You do not need the tool. Even with 5 tire rotation, Ford will sync up automatically after a quick drive.

[@jasonwalker2639]

You do not need a special tool when doing a 5 tire rotation - the Bronco is smart enough to match the tires up. I was shocked, but this is true and I tested it myself.

[@Overlanding4Fun]

Did you rotate the 5th wheel in or just rotate the 4 that were already in use? I agree the 4 that are already in use the computer with figure out if they changed positions?

[@jasonwalker2639]

@@Overlanding4Fun All 5 wheels have sensors and the Bronco computer will figure it out even with a 5 wheel rotation.

Press the hazards 2 times twice in a row and it will put the vehicle in learn mode

Great vid but way to much work for me . I'm leaving the spare right were it is . ❤

Damn I need a scanner? Wtf

[@michaelzeeuw772]

You do not need to re-teach the TPMS. It will correct itself.

[@Overlanding4Fun]

That is true for a 4 tire rotation, the computer will figure out where each tire is mounted. On a 5 tire rotation, you will need to.
