Anybody know if 2015 TPMS will work on a 2011?

[FIVE-OH]

...or will have have to swap the ones off my 2011?

Thanks!

2015 TPMS is the new generation that supports the 4-corner info that can be displayed. I don't think that they will coordinate with the earlier system.

Damn, I was afraid of that. Guess there should be no issues swapping the sensors over from one set to the other set of wheels?

As long as you keep each sensor in the same position as it was before you will be fine. If not, go by Discount Tire and they can program them. No need to spend $28 for the programming tool

Got ya, will have to go there anyway to get them to pop the beads and swap the sensors over. But I may just mark and toss them in my wife's truck, this way no worries about doofs working around my car.

TPMS is such a pain in the ass, is there not a way to disable it?

A piece of tape over the light on the dash LOL.

I hear ya, but I will have both sets of sensors, so I might as well get them to work right on my car.

Nope. It's a safety feature.

Nope. It's a safety feature.

And required by federa law to not be able to be disabled.

I thought 11-14 are self learners and reprogramming isn't required?

I know when I got my wheels delivered (square setup with TPMS pre-installed), I threw them on the car and never got a warning light. Unless I got really lucky with placement, they are self learners.

Laws are stupid.

I'm really surprised this is a safety feature though.

I always had to program mine

I've just heard the 15 sensors give readouts per tire, unlike the 11 sensors, which will make them not work in an 11? Just trying to find out for sure, not sure who to ask to get a 100% definite answer. Worse comes to worse I can mount them up and see if I get a warning light, I would just rather not have to be putting wheels on and off and on and so on...

You can thank the Ford/Firestone fiasco for this one

2015 sensors will not work on 07-14. We tried it.

Yes, the 15s give tire PSI readout that is displayed in the cluster LCD screen.

As Steve said, they are not compatible.

Thanks for the confirmation. I will just put my 11 sensors in the 15 wheels and sell the 15 sensors...they came with the deal anyway.

Thanks!

TPMS is such a pain in the ass,

It's really not.

Besides the "safety" and "legal" aspects, the tires we run on these cars are expensive as hell. It's nice to have some notice that a tire is low before you actually destroy it by driving on it.

Also, not having jankety shit like TPMS sensors in a PVC pipe, or unplugging a dash light, is appealing to some of us.

A set of four new OEM Ford TPMS sensors is $70 (p/n DE8T-1A180-AA)

They used to be $60! Here's the ad I bought them from. You could probably still find them this cheap if you hunt a little more.

Way cheaper than a tire. Just sayin'

This. They stopped me from driving on a flat recently. Catching it before leaving the driveway meant I could swap to the track day wheels/tires & only be ~20 mins late instead of the tire coming apart at speed somewhere down the road & who know how much time & expense. The low profile tires are not obvious when they are flat (especially at o'dark early heading to work & not completely awake yet).
