17" to 18" rim now low pressure sensor wont deactivate
Hey guys need some help PLEASE
I changed from the stock 17" ford rims to a set of 18" rims
and now the low tire pressure sensor wont turn off
the stock rims were on my 2007 F150 STX
the 18" rims were from a 2014 F150
from what I read they have the same sensor and they arent low so what do I do to make this stop.
please help its driving me nuts

As far as I know no. When I had my sensors put on my new rims I had to take it to ford and have them reset the psi since i went from running a 45 psi on stocks to 30 psi on my mudders I had. They did it for me for free. So they shouldn't charge you for it as far as I know.

Your best bet is to take the sensors off your 17" wheels and install them on your new wheels with new bands.

I apologize I didn't clarify myself I took the tires off my old rims and I seem to have bands on two of the tires and valve stem connections on to that's from my memory though I will check tomorrow and take pictures

If you can get all 4 band style tpms on your new wheels, you won't have a problem. If they're not the ones that came on your truck from the factory, they will need to be relearned though.

And here's a used set for a lot less: http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/272032040751
These are the ones for 2007-2008 F150's. You'd need to have new bands installed too. They're pretty much just huge radiator hose clamps and shouldn't cost more than $10 for all 4. The tpms needs to be mounted 180° from the valve stem. If the valve stem was at 12:00, you'd put the tpms at 6:00.
The tpms you have on your truck are already "learned" to your truck. The new/used ones will not be and you'll need a tire shop to re learn them for you. I **think** there's a do it yourself way where you have to deflate the tires and bit, the horn sounds, then you inflate them. It's a process in which I cannot remember at the moment.
Here's one of the ones from my original stock steel wheels (my new chrome clad are from a 2008 and already had them.)
