Ford Performance TPMS kit

[sdsteele2]

Has anyone else tried to use the Ford Performance TMPM kit with their S650?

I used to this kit M-1180-B with my winter wheels and no luck. I have tried everything I can think of to train the new sensors. I finally gave up and made a trip to the dealer this morning. According to the tech these are not the correct sensors and my only option is to buy four more sensors.

Yep, just tried mine today and the remote didn't work. I tested each sensor with a Snap-on TPMS tool and they're all good. Just no beeps from the car with the remote. So, don't go buying 4 new sensors just yet. Retailers are selling this kit for 2024's.

Interesting. So, were you able to train the sensors with your snap-on tool?

No, I could only read the pressures with it.

I did some random Googling, looking for alternatives. Two Ford sites list only 1180-A and 1180-B.

I'm not doubting either of your experiences.

I noticed A and B serve primarily Gen 5 (A) and Gen 6 (B) respectively. 2015, when the S550 came about, was when Ford began producing/supporting the M-1180-B.

With the S650 in production, you'd think that, if there is a new TPMS, Ford would be boxing them up and making them available, now.

@Ford Motor Company , any insight?

Winter tires, road damage, people occasionally using a second rim/tire, aftermarket rim installations, etc. A functioning, over-the-counter sensor set is needed for the S650.

Edit: the Ford Performance web site does say the M-1180-B supports 2024s.

Maybe reach out directly to Ford Performance. I doubt your dealers tech gave you the right answer.

Have either of you attempted to drive the car for 10 mins or so, to see if the car will learn the new sensors?

Yes, I have driven a couple hundred miles since I installed the sensors.

That’s my plan. I was just asking here while I wait till their customer support opens on Monday

Honestly the S650 is still too new for forum members to answer questions like this. We can guess and speculate but neither of these will be of any help to you. By the way did your tech give you a part number for your car? Unless they have it how would they know the ones you bought do not work?

FWIW, I attempted to check variants (C, D, etc.) to see if there was a continuation of the existing series. I received results akin to the discussion occurring of K&N filters.

By chance how do the old and new sensors compare ? Old working sensors have any visible numbers?

I'm using M-1180-Bs in a 2022. "PA6-GF35" is present on the side, which denotes the possible operating frequencies of 433MHz (appears to be EU) and 315MHz (rest of world). I'm also reading comments 315MHz might be used by older models, while 433MHz is new. There's a small spot to scan, but I didn't bother with the phone. I can't see PN#s, but they may be obscured, on the rim side.

Ford Performance is generally good with feedback. Hope to learn more of this topic tomorrow.

OP used these on his winter wheels not his original ones.

Yeah, my car isn't recognizing the sensors. Getting an error. LMR was selling this set when they were selling the Mach 1 wheels for the 2024. They don't seem to be listing them now. Other retailers are still listing them for 2024's.

FordParts is even listing the same thing: https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/e...-system-sensor-kit-tpms-sensor-p-tpms74?pdp=y
