ON THE ROAD; Replacing a new TPMS on a Ford Focus

- In this video you will be joining me on the road and testing my new GoPro Hero 10. It will give you an insight of what happens when we get a call out for a mobile tyre service.
In this case, we are replacing a Tyre Pressure Monitoring Sensor on a Ford Focus. The video goes into basic detail but the link provided below is a full comprehensive video of the entire process from start to finish including TPMS programming.

Thanks for watching and we’ll see you in the next video.
Nice little setup u have 👌
Well done !
Good view point but would prefer narrative rather than music.
Thanks for the feedback. Will be sure to work it into future videos 👌
What a brilliant video.👏🏻👏🏻. Can you help…I have a focus & my TPS keeps coming on,will I need to replace all 4 or will the garage be able to detect which is faulty?? It’s not too bad to buy the sensors off Ebay(brand new) it will probably be the cost of replacing them as I have no idea what that charge will be but if it’s just 1 then shouldn’t be too bad. Didn’t realise the work that goes into it but this video is brilliant & really interesting so thank you 👏🏻👏🏻
Hi, thank you so much for getting in touch and with such positive feedback. Fortunately with TPM (Tyre Pressure Monitoring) sensors, each sensor can be read individually without having to remove them from the wheel. The garage will definitely be able to detect which one (or more) has either a low battery or completely dead and will need replacing. The battery life on each of these sensors are usually around 6-8 years. The reality is, once one starts going down, the others may not be too far behind. I've only ever had one car that needed 2 separate sensors at one time. Once the sensors have been fitted & programmed to the car, the TPM system is reset and you should be good to go. Unless there's an other underline issue, then it's a very common & straight forward repair. I think on average £25-£35 per sensor for a genuine one and then the cost of fitting / programming is around 30mins of each sensor/wheel depending on the hourly rate. Thanks again for your on-going support. Hope you got your car sorted.
@@greenautoservices thanks so much for your reply it’s been a great help,I will now get these ordered & booked in. Really appreciate your help,I wish you all the best 👏🏻👍🏻
@@vinerscott Not a problem at all, my pleasure.
I like your new go pro 👍
Thanks dude! I highly recommend you get one 👍🏼
It’s buddy walker sally’s son
I who’d get one but I don’t have that money
🤣
Christmas isn’t too far away 🙌
How much do you charge for this service?
Hi Paul, thanks for getting in touch. The sensor itself is very reasonable and for a genuine sensor from Ford I think it was around £30 + vat. With fitting, the total bill came in around £70-80 + vat from memory 👍
My ford cmax sensors go off everytime I get in it need to figure out which one has gone !!!
@@COPPERCATZ deflate a single tyre by about 10 psi then start car and see if it informs you of tyre pressure low, if it does that sensors fine, if it doesn't that sensors broke.
Can this relearn process be done by manually putting the car in learn mode and then activating each sensor round the vehicle with a cheap transmitter? Or do you need to programme it with that calibre of kit?
Hi Tom.
You don’t need a calibration or programming kit. Each new sensor will (or at least should have) a designated ID already programmed to it. The sensor is just waiting to be assigned to a vehicle. So once the vehicle has gone into a relearn mode, you will require some sort of device to wake up each sensor in turn and activate it to transfer it’s data to the vehicles BCM (body control module) when it expects it. I have only ever had access or invested in Snap-On’s TPMS 4 but I’m sure there are a variety of other brands that are capable of doing the same job. Otherwise a quick trip to a local garage would be able to programme them in about 5/10 mins once fitted.
Be sure to check out my other video as I go into depth a lot more on this same vehicle with this procedure.

Hope this helps, good luck 👍

I took my car to freeways Tunbridge wells they said they couldn't do this.
Apologies for the delayed response. Did you manage ton get this resolved in the end?
is that 315 mhz or 433 mhz ?
Quite sure they're the 433 MHz :)
