Are all Bronco TPMS sensors the same part?

[Bryanm]

Are all "Bronco" tpms sensors the same? Example. My 2021 Big Bend has aftermarket wheels with the factory tpms sensors. I recently picked up my Badlands order and would like to just swap wheels around. Will that work or are they vehicle specific? Someone buying a set of takeoffs might find this information useful as well.

A dealer tech will have to reprogram them but after that you'll be fine.

99% sure they are the same part #. I sold my Badlands take offs (included the TPMS) to someone who has and Outer Banks. BTW - The TPMS are auto learning. No need to program when you put new ones on. They figure it out themselves.

Wrong. The sensors are self programmed

Ok.... so two different answers...

Ok, I'm gonna give it a shot and do the ol' driveway switcheroo.... I'll post again and let everyone know if I end up at the dealership or not.

@Bryanm
I bought the Motorcraft sensors from rockauto. The tire shop installed them on the Methods, they DID NOT have the Bronco, I dropped the wheels and tires off in my pick up and picked them up the same way.
Slapped them on the Bronco ... had TPMS reading almost immediately.

They are self programming. You just have to drive it down the road. The sensors start transmitting data over 20 mph

Agree. No issue and no reprogramming necessary. Put a set on my aftermarket wheels, swapped over onto the Bronco as soon as it arrived. TP readings on the dash as soon as I started rolling for the first time.

I swapped my wheels
I didn’t need to program the sensors.

As noted repeatedly above, the TPMS sensors are typically “self training”. I bought 5 new ones for my replacement wheel & tire set and they trained themselves after driving.

HOWEVER, no one has answered your original question which was “are they all the same.”

No I do not believe that they are all the same. When I purchased my set we tried to look up the part generically by model for a ‘21 Bronco, but ultimately had to use my VIN because there is more than one TPMS part number available for the Bronco.

I too used my vin number to get the sensors from dealer. went from aluminum black diamond wheels to SAS wheels Had to put sensors in SAS wheels. I didn’t want to take them from other set of wheels

FWIW, there is a $100.00 rebate or earn 20,000 Ford Pass Rewards Points on the purchase AND installation of 4 (or more) tpms sensors at your local Ford dealer or QuickLane until Dec. 31st of 2022.

Are they the same? Good question. Typically, steel and aluminum wheels use different sensors. Have no idea if Ford is using different sensors or not, but most do.

 

[Jazer]

It will work fine and they do not need outside programming. (I can confirm as I have BL wheels on my OBX and did not swap sensors).

So you purchased new sensors, put them in wheels and once on vehicle it all worked? I have wheels, and new tpms sensors from Ford for the bronco. I am hoping to have tire shop put this sensor in my wheel and when I put wheel on bronconit works, I am hoping I wouldn't have to remove the time sensor and reprogram or something? Do you know if install new purchase ford factory sensors in bronco wheels that should be it, is programming if that needs done something that can be done after tpms is installed or does programming require part numbers from tpms which means id have to take them back out to program??
