How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light (TPMS) on a Ford E-Series
Steps from the 2025 Ford E-Series owner's manual (Single rear wheel models (a dual rear wheel procedure with six tires is also given)).
- Drive above 20 mph (32 km/h) for at least two minutes, then park where you can reach all four tires and an air pump.
- Turn the ignition off with the key in it, then cycle it to the on position with the engine off.
- Turn the hazard flashers on then off three times within 10 seconds until the horn sounds once.
- Starting at the left front tire, remove the valve cap and decrease the air pressure until the horn sounds.
- Repeat in order for the right front, right rear and left rear tires.
- Turn the ignition off, then set all four tires to the recommended air pressure on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label.
- Perform the reset after each tire rotation.
- Do not wait more than two minutes between tire sensors or the system can time out.
- A double horn means the procedure was unsuccessful and must be repeated.
