If you own a 2012 Ford Escape Limited and need to reset the TPMS tire light, you’ve come to the right place. This process can also be applied to Ford Escapes made from 2008 to 2012.
To initiate the reset, follow these steps:
- Close all doors and turn the key to the off position.
- Press and release the brake pedal once.
- Cycle the key from off to run three times, leaving it in the run position after the third cycle.
- Press and release the brake pedal once more.
- Cycle the key from off to run three times again, and listen for the horn to sound once, indicating the vehicle has entered the tire learn mode.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to scan each tire sensor separately, starting from the front left and proceeding to the front right, rear right, and ending in the rear left.
Once the scanner recognizes all the sensors and programs them to the computer, the procedure is complete, and you should see a “training complete” message. The TPMS light should no longer be illuminated.
While the process itself is relatively straightforward, you will need a TPMS diagnostic tool or scanner to carry it out. Investing in one can save you time and money in the long run, as many auto shops charge for this service, despite it being a quick task.
By following these steps, you can easily relearn your TPMS sensors at home, saving you a trip to the auto shop. Most TPMS scanners work in a similar fashion, allowing you to use the tool across multiple vehicles.
