hondastreet Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I do not use anymore the sensor inside the tires. Wondering if anyone has pulled the cluster and I'm assuming there is separate bulb. Anyone remove it? Or can I cut a wire or unplug the inboard reading detector ?

Waldo Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Clusters don't use bulbs anymore, they are all hardwired LEDs. TPMS is a federally mandated safety system (in the US at least), so there is no legal way of disabling it. The software is all integrated into modules that do other things, so there's no wire to cut or connector to unplug. The only way is to find someone who knows how to disable it through the software.

hondastreet Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 stupid thing fmpv, I'm from canada, I never heard about any rules. It's may be different It should have a wire that can be cut between ECU and Cluster does anybody have the diagram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) After a little research, I discovered that there is actually a separate "TPM" module in the Edge (most Ford's have the TPMS receiver integrated into the SPDJB). So you could try disconnecting that module (it's behind the LH rear quarter panel), but given that it's on the network, it's likely still going to set an error code and leave the light on anyway. Until you change the software in the cluster to tell it not to look for a TPMS signal, it will always be looking and will always turn the light on when it doesn't find it.

hondastreet Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 If we put all 4 sensors inside the glove box, I'm assuming that it's working for any kind of wheels set ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I've heard of people putting them all in the spare, but they only work a week or so, because they need motion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondastreet Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 When I call the dealer, the part number is TPMS-4 (Quebec) I think that it's made by Motorcraft I have seen many on Ebay very cheap $20+shipping instead $103 On ebay, I read 6L2A-1A176-AF as part number They say OEM, but they are bleu Does have a difference between blue and black sensor ?

If it says "FoMoCo" on it, which they appear to, then it should be a legit OEM part. Keep in mind you also need to buy the bands to install them on the wheels which can run another $15 or so. There are also valve stem mounted aftermarket setups by VDO and Orange that are supposed to work with the Ford band-type systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
