To replace the tire pressure sensor (TPMS) on a Ford Focus, follow these steps: First, locate the sensor near the tire valve. Remove the wheel. Detach the old sensor and attach the new one. Check the battery, as it lasts around 7 years. For assistance, visit a tire shop or authorized dealer.
Now, detach the tire pressure sensor from the valve stem. You may need a wrench to loosen it. Install the new sensor onto the valve stem, ensuring a secure fit. After replacing the sensor, reattach the tire to the wheel rim, making sure it is properly seated. Once reassembled, mount the wheel back onto the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern. Finally, lower the car to the ground and check the tire pressure using a gauge.
Completing these steps will help ensure the tire pressure monitoring system functions correctly. Next, we will discuss how to reset the TPMS light after replacing the tire pressure sensor, ensuring the system is calibrated and ready for accurate monitoring.
