Help! OEM TPMS WITH ACTIVATION TOOL KIT not working

[faris]

How do you know the TPMS sensors put in are OEM? Do you have the boxes for those sensors? Is that what the dealer said? Does the box have a Ford PN?

Schrader sensors are supposed to be (allegedly) OEM variety, but there are two varieties: 1) Need to be programmed because they are variable frequency. 2) Only set to 315 MHz, and don't need to be programmed.

And... just as an aside (only for Schrader)... they talk about programming them before you install them. Not sure why.

I have the Scrader that had to be programmed though, they were programmed 1st, and now work perfectly.

Notes:
1) FYI -- Just going down the Scrader rat-hole because those are the ones I had installed on my new wheels/tires.
2) When I didn't have any TPMS installed it took about 20 miles for my Bronco to give me a warning of defective TPMS... so make sure you're driving at least 10-20 miles.

I bought them from this link

Well, that is the Ford relearn tool. I've seen that enough on Amazon for like $13.00

Looking at the URL itself it looks like the part no. for the TPMS itself is: F2GT-1A180-AB (and) F2GT-1A150-AB and does say 315MHz (141231) and also has a number (8MZJA)

Summary: Seems like your TPMS are correct, but look at the comment I got when I put "2022 Bronco" in to their "garage".

(see attached)

Not sure what is going on... go to that website, put in that part number, and enter in "your garage" what model you have.

Out of the box I have this is what was in it. I have my new wheels at home prolly swap them tomorrow morning when it's not 95 out.

@faris Just want to report back, that after putting the new wheels on my 23 Braptor picked them up right away, I didn't have to use anything to activate them. For once it worked the way it should.

If they are OEM, is that even necessary to program them? I thought the Bronco would automatically pick them up in a couple of miles.

Even non-OEM TPMS sensors are automatically recognized. I bought a second set of wheels and tires and bought some moderately-priced, highly-rated after-market sensors from Amazon and they work perfectly. I've switched back-and-forth between wheel sets at least half a dozen times.

I'm curious what benefit a programmer provides.
