Hi,
I have a set of 2013 Raptor wheels that I used on my 13 FX4. I am wondering if the sensors will still work on my 15?
Thanks in advance.

 

I have been looking for a set of '15 20" wheels for my '14. Through my research and checking for take-off's with my dealer I found that they are different TPM's.

So you would have to get someone to swap them between you stockers and Raptor wheels.

 

As Blown F-150 noted, you will not be able to use the previous gen' TPMS sensors in the 2015 F-150 ....

 

Thanks. This may work out ok. I found a set for the 15 and I will use the 13 ones in my wife's Edge for her snow tires.

 

I also got a question about the TPMS

today I had my winter tire installed on diferent rims.. . I choose not to get the TPMS as the dealer are selling them for 80$ each

now I get into the truck...and I have no warning whatsoever and I have a reading of 34PSI on 3 wheels and 35 PSI on the other

I would have expect to have a TPMS warning in the dash but nothing....

so what give? how come I dont have the warning ?

thank you

 

Are the stock wheels in the bed of your truck? Could you still be reading them?

 

What year is your truck? This is the 2015-2016 forum.

 

Wow! Greedy, aren't they? I had a bad TPMS sensor on my 2010 when I bought my last set of tires and my tire shop (Tires Plus) sold me a new one for $28 and installed it for free and reset the TPMS at no charge. (They already had the tire off.)

 

my truck is a 2015, the summer tire were not in the bed

turn out that on my way home at the end of the day the warning poped up. took a while .. I took the truck on lunch time and its still showed PSI in tire.

thats lead me to think the TPMS are not real time but they must be pooled at an hour intervall or soemthing like that.. they must be real time only when in training mode I imagine.

 

Maverick, I'd say you're right about the TPMS not being a "real time" warning system, and I suspect that's a good thing.

If it were "real time" and you ever lost contact with one of the sensors, you'd get a warning. Depending on your system, you might get a lost contact warning or, you could get a zero pressure blowout alarm. Either one would drive you right up a wall if it occurred with any frequency.

The first tire pressure sensors I installed for my trailer worked that way. The warnings were so frequent and so uninformative that I finally removed the system. The one I have now doesn't issue a warning if contact is lost unless it's been for one hour, and then it clearly says "Contact Lost" (tells me to go back and find my trailer if I don't see it in the rear view mirror). But, if there is a sudden loss of pressure, the warning is immediate.

I know the TPMS in my car needs to be "retrained" any time the tires are rotated, but that warning doesn't come on until I've driven quite a few miles after the rotation. My truck doesn't need that action happily.

Naturally, we'd like to have immediate warnings, but since most low pressure situations are gradual, perhaps the way Ford does it is the best way.

It is real time when the sensors are readable. I have watched them warm up from a cold stop in the morning and it's definitely real time.

It's puzzling why your truck didn't detect that the sensors were not present at all. I would have expected a warning right away. I swapped a spare onto a previous vehicle when a flat occured and it was instant the next time the key was turned on
