The TPMS monitors the air pressure of all 4 road tires. The wheel-mounted tire pressure sensors transmit via radio frequency signals, to the vehicle security module (VSM). TPMS functionality is integral to the VSM. These transmissions are sent approximately every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds 32 km/h (20 mph). The TPMS function compares each tire pressure sensor transmission against a low-pressure limit. If it has been determined that the tire pressure has fallen below this limit, the VSM communicates this on the vehicle communication bus to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster then illuminates the TPMS indicator and displays the appropriate message(s) in the message center (if equipped).

Let me know if you need a hand, but there has to be some other way around that light. Im going to see if Manny from TFO knows anything about it.

5.4 Lariet,
Spoke to Manny at TFO and he says that you have to take the stock sensors from the wheels and put them on your new wheels then reset the system with a machine that he has at his shop.
Let me know if you want to call him so maybe he can explain it to you.

Thanks bud! yea i know that was my option. problem is i sold my factory wheels. So I have to purchase new sensors which cost about $200 a pc " As per Ford" That's why I think taking the dash apart would be my best option.
