How do you relearn TPMS on Fusion?
If your Ford Fusion's Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) needs to be relearned, there is a straightforward process you can follow to get it back up and running. This article will guide you through the steps to relearn the TPMS on your Fusion.
What is TPMS and Why Does it Need to be Relearned?
The TPMS in your Ford Fusion is a safety feature that monitors the air pressure in each of your tires. It alerts you when the pressure in any tire drops below a certain level, which can help prevent blowouts and improve fuel efficiency. Over time, the TPMS sensors may need to be relearned, especially after changing tires or wheels, or if the TPMS warning light is illuminated on your dashboard.
Steps to Relearn TPMS on a Ford Fusion
- Ensure the tires are at the proper inflation pressure: Check the driver's side door jamb sticker or owner's manual for the recommended tire pressure for your Fusion.
- Park the vehicle in a safe, level location: Make sure the Fusion is parked on a flat surface and the parking brake is engaged.
- Turn the ignition to the "On" position: Do not start the engine.
- Locate the TPMS relearn button: This is usually found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. Refer to your owner's manual for the exact location.
- Press and hold the TPMS relearn button: Hold the button for 5-10 seconds until the TPMS warning light on the dashboard begins to flash.
- Drive the vehicle: Once the TPMS light is flashing, drive the Fusion for at least 10 minutes at speeds above 20 mph. This allows the TPMS sensors to be relearned.
- Verify the TPMS is working: Check the dashboard to ensure the TPMS warning light is no longer illuminated, indicating the system has been successfully relearned.
By following these steps, you can easily relearn the TPMS on your Ford Fusion and ensure your tires are properly monitored for safety and efficiency.
