Hey guys! I am doing some TPMS testing using an SDR dongle and a hand held TPMS activation tool. I am going to order some Ford TPMS sensors but under "Supported device protocols" it mentions Ford TPMS [89], but does not specify which brand or model numbers of the sensors that were tested. Is there a list somewhere, or should this work with "most" Ford sensors?

Thanks,

Wray

We don't really know. Read the source code for clues.

I am really fuzzy on this, so take as a vague, maybe-confused hint.

My impression is that Ford used one kind of sensor (on some fraction of
vehicles) until about 2018, and is not using a different kind of
sensor. So "Ford sensor" is ambiguous.

I am doing the same thing, we are developing a product for TPMS. I also ordered the ford sensors, but they are a pain in the A**. Just order the schrader EZ Sensor, and get a "Tech 200" programing tool. This will allow you to activate the sensors. Then easily read them in rtl.
