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.
