Where is the TPMS reset button on Ford Flex?

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) reset button on a Ford Flex is typically located inside the driver's side door jamb, near the door latch. This button allows you to manually reset the TPMS system after changing or rotating your tires.

What is the TPMS System?

The TPMS system in a Ford Flex is designed to monitor the air pressure in each of the vehicle's tires. If the pressure in any tire drops below a certain threshold, the system will illuminate a warning light on the dashboard to alert the driver. This helps prevent potential tire blowouts or uneven tire wear caused by underinflated tires.

Locating the TPMS Reset Button

To find the TPMS reset button on your Ford Flex, follow these steps:

• Open the driver's side door and look along the door jamb, near the door latch.


• The TPMS reset button is typically a small, round button, often labeled "TPMS" or with a tire icon.


• The button may be recessed into the door jamb, so you may need to use a pen or other small object to press it.

Once you've located the button, you can use it to reset the TPMS system after changing or rotating your tires, or if the system is displaying a warning light.

Resetting the TPMS System

To reset the TPMS system on your Ford Flex, follow these steps:

• Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure, which can be found in the driver's side door jamb sticker or owner's manual.


• Locate the TPMS reset button in the driver's side door jamb.


• Press and hold the button for 3-5 seconds until the TPMS warning light blinks or the instrument cluster displays a confirmation message.


• The TPMS system will now be reset and should begin monitoring the tire pressures again.

Resetting the TPMS system is an important step after any tire service or rotation to ensure the system is accurately monitoring your tire pressures.

How do I manually reset my Ford TPMS?

To reset your Ford's TPMS, first ensure all tires are inflated to the correct pressure listed on the driver's side door jamb. Then, enter the reset mode by either using the dashboard button (if equipped) or by a sequence of ignition and brake pedal presses. Finally, activate each tire's sensor one by one, starting with the front-left, by decreasing the air pressure until the horn honks. 
Method 1: Using a TPMS button on the dashboard

1. Inflate all tires to the correct pressure. 
2. Turn the ignition to the "On" position (engine off). 
3. Press and hold the TPMS button, usually located on the steering column or left of the steering wheel, until the TPMS indicator light flashes twice. 
4. Drive for at least 20 minutes at speeds between 30 and 60 mph for the calibration to complete. 

Method 2: Using the key cycle and brake pedal
This method works for many models, including those with push-button start.

1. Inflate all tires to the correct pressure. 
2. Press the brake pedal and hold it. 
3. Turn the ignition from Off to Run, three times in a row, ending in the "Run" position. 
4. Release the brake pedal. 
5. The horn will sound once, and the "Train Left Front Tire" message will appear on the display. If not, repeat these steps. 
6. Use a tire pressure gauge to release air from the left-front tire's valve stem until the horn chirps once. 
7. Repeat this process for the right-front, right-rear, and left-rear tires, in that order. 
8. The process is complete when you hear the horn for the last tire. If the horn beeps twice at any point, the procedure failed, and you need to start over. 

Method 3: Using hazard lights (for some models)

1. Inflate tires to the correct pressure. 
2. With the ignition on and engine running, turn the hazard lights on and off three times within a 10-second window. 
3. The horn will chirp once to indicate you have entered training mode. 
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to train each tire by deflating the air until the horn honks, starting with the left-front tire. 

Where is the TPMS sensor reset button located?

The TPMS reset button is typically located under the steering wheel, on the dashboard, or inside the glove box. If your car has a touchscreen display, the reset function is often found in the "vehicle settings" or "TPMS calibration" menu. For specific locations, check your owner's manual or look for a button with the TPMS icon (a tire with an exclamation mark).
