Model information:
2011 Ford E350
Function description:
Tire pressure sensor learning guide after tire pressure sensor replacement
Used tools:
CRT 511S (This operation takes CRT 511S as an example. For the specific operations about other tire pressure devices of Launch, you can refer to this method.)
Device version information:
V1.23 and later
Sensor OE number:
(Schrader) 9L3Z1A189A/CM5T1A150AA
Fault description:
The tire pressure MIL on the instrument panel turns on, as shown in the following figure.
Procedure:
1. Select Launch [CRT511S] and select the [Tire Pressure System] function.
According to the information on the vehicle nameplate, select Ford → E-series →[2011/01-2017/12 (315MHZ)] to access the function list.
Select the [Check Sensor] function to activate the four tire pressure sensors of the original vehicle, and find that none of the four sensors can be activated (activation failure indicates sensor damage, and the sensors need to be replaced).
2. Return to the previous menu, select the [Program Sensor] function, and then select [Automatic Creation] to program four Launch tire pressure sensors. (Note: You can also select [Manual Creation] to input the original vehicle sensor ID or select [Copy ID by OBD] to input the sensor ID here.
The sensors programmed using this method do not require learning and can be directly installed for road testing.)
3. Install the programmed sensors on the vehicle to replace the damaged tire pressure sensors, as shown in the following figure.
4. Return to the previous menu and click the [Check Sensor] function again to activate the four new tire pressure sensors (select 'Save' when the device prompts whether to save the activated data, otherwise all sensors need to be reactivated). The results are shown in the following figure.
5. Return to the previous menu and select the [Relearn] function. Follow the operation prompts to operate, and the learning is successful, as shown in the following figure. (Note: OBD learning is to write the sensor ID and position on the activation page into the tire pressure computer of the vehicle.)
6. After sensor learning, click OK to read the sensor IDs to check whether the learning is successful. (Note: If the ID positions are correct, the font color will be black. If the positions are incorrect, the font color will be red.)
7. On the function selection page, select the [TPMS OBDII] function, and then select the [Read DTCs] function, as shown in the following figure. (If there are DTCs, the "Clear DTCs" function needs to be executed.)
8. After the tire pressure sensors are successfully replaced, the instrument tire pressure is displayed normally and the MIL turns off. Increase the pressure of the four tires to 280kpa according to the nameplate, and conduct a 15-minute road test at a speed of 30km/h or above. There is no tire pressure fault alarm, and the problem is resolved.
