Ford F-150 (2018 year). Manual - part 99

•

To reduce the chances of interference
from another vehicle, perform the
system reset procedure at least three
feet (one meter) away from another
Ford Motor Company vehicle
undergoing the system reset procedure
at the same time.

•

Do not wait more than two minutes
between resetting each tire sensor or
the system will time-out and the entire
procedure will have to be repeated on
all four wheels.

•

A double horn will sound indicating the
need to repeat the procedure.

Performing the System Reset Procedure

Read the entire procedure before
attempting.

1.

Drive the vehicle above 20 mph
(32 km/h) for at least two minutes,
then park in a safe location where you
can easily get to all four tires and have
access to an air pump.

2. Place the ignition in the off position and

keep the key in the ignition.

3. Cycle the ignition to the on position

with the engine off.

4. Turn the hazard flashers on then off

three times. You must accomplish this
within 10 seconds. If the reset mode
has been entered successfully, the horn
will sound once, the system indicator
will flash and a message is shown in
the information display. If this does not
occur, please try again starting at Step
2. If after repeated attempts to enter
the reset mode, the horn does not
sound, the system indicator does not
flash and no message is shown in the
information display, seek service from
your authorized dealer.

5. Train the tire pressure monitoring

system sensors in the tires using the
following system reset sequence
starting with the left front tire in the
following clockwise order: Left front
(driver's side front tire), Right front
(passenger's side front tire), Right rear
(passenger's side rear tire), Left rear
(driver's side rear tire).

6. Remove the valve cap from the valve

stem on the left front tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn sounds.

Note: The single horn chirp confirms that
the sensor identification code has been
learned by the module for this position. If a
double horn is heard, the reset procedure
was unsuccessful, and you must repeat it.

7.

Remove the valve cap from the valve
stem on the right front tire. Decrease
the air pressure until the horn sounds.

8. Remove the valve cap from the valve

stem on the right rear tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn sounds.

9. Remove the valve cap from the valve

stem on the left rear tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn sounds.
Training is complete after the horn
sounds for the last tire trained (driver's
side rear tire), the system indicator
stops flashing, and a message is shown
in the information display.

10.

Turn the ignition off. If two short horn
beeps are heard, the reset procedure
was unsuccessful and you must
repeat it. If after repeating the
procedure and two short beeps are
heard when the ignition is turned to
off, seek assistance from your
authorized dealer.

11.

Set all four tires to the recommended
air pressure as indicated on the
Safety Compliance Certification
Label (affixed to either the door hinge
pillar, door-latch post, or the door
edge that meets the door-latch post,
next to the driver's seating position)
or Tire Label located on the B-Pillar
or the edge of the driver's door.

CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL

WARNING

If the tire pressure monitor sensor
becomes damaged it may not
function.

Note: The use of tire sealant may damage
your tire pressure monitoring system and
should only be used in roadside
emergencies.

Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light will illuminate when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on this vehicle.

If you get a flat tire while driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.

Have a flat serviced by an authorized
dealer in order to prevent damage to the
system sensors. See Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (page 395). Replace
the spare tire with a road tire as soon as
possible. During repairing or replacing of
the flat tire, have the authorized dealer
inspect the system sensor for damage.

Dissimilar Spare Wheel and Tire
Assembly Information

WARNING

Failure to follow these guidelines
could result in an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, injury or death.

If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and
tire, then it is intended for temporary use
only. This means that if you need to use it,
you should replace it as soon as possible
with a road wheel and tire assembly that
is the same size and type as the road tires
and wheels that were originally provided
by Ford. If the dissimilar spare tire or wheel
is damaged, it should be replaced rather
than repaired.

A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
is defined as a spare wheel and tire
assembly that is different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and
wheels.

1. Full-size dissimilar spare

When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, do not:
•

Exceed 70 mph (113 km/h).

•

Use more than one dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly at a time.

•

Use snow chains on the end of the
vehicle with the dissimilar spare wheel
and tire assembly.

When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, it is
recommended that you do not:
•

Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) in 4WD.

•

Engage 4WD unless the vehicle is
stationary.

•

Use 4WD on dry pavement.

The usage of a full-size dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly can lead to
impairment of the following:
•

Handling, stability and braking
performance.

•

Comfort and noise.

•

Ground clearance and parking at curbs.

•

Winter weather driving capability.

•

Wet weather driving capability.

•

Four-wheel drive capability.

When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly additional
caution should be given to:
•

Towing a trailer.

•

Driving vehicles equipped with a
camper body.

•

Driving vehicles with a load on the
cargo rack.

Drive cautiously when using a full-size
dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
and seek service as soon as possible.

Tire Change Procedure

WARNINGS

When one of the front wheels is off
the ground, the transmission alone
will not prevent the vehicle from

moving or slipping off the jack, even if the
transmission is in park (P).

To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when changing a wheel, shift
the transmission into park (P), set

the parking brake and use an appropriate
block or wheel chock to secure the wheel
diagonally opposite to the wheel being
changed. For example, when changing the
front left wheel, place an appropriate block
or wheel chock on the right rear wheel.

Do not work on your vehicle when
the jack is the only support. If the
vehicle slips off the jack, you or

someone else could be seriously injured.

WARNINGS

Do not attempt to change a tire on
the side of the vehicle close to
moving traffic. Pull far enough off the

road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.

Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one

provided, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including
any vehicle cargo or modifications. If you
are unsure if the jack capacity is adequate,
contact the authorized dealer.

Switch off the running boards before
jacking or placing any object under
your vehicle. Never place your hand

between the extended running board and
your vehicle. A moving running board may
cause injury.

Note: Only use the spare tire carrier to stow
the tire and wheel combination provided
with your vehicle. Other tire and wheel
combinations can cause the tire carrier to
fail.

Note: Do not use impact tools or power
tools operating at over 200 RPM on the
spare tire carrier, this may cause a winch
malfunction and prevent a secure fit.
Override the winch at least three times
(there will be an audible click each time) to
make sure the wheel and tire have been
installed securely.

Note: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.

Park on a level surface, activate the hazard
flashers and set the parking brake. Then,
place the transmission in park (P) and turn
the engine off.
