In this video, you can see how to find a faulty TPMS sensor on the tires of your Ford Escape. Initially, the YouTuber thought it was interference from other electronic devices, but after eliminating them all, the problem persisted, so he preferred to replace the faulty sensor.

We recommend that when one fails, replace them all, as they usually activate simultaneously. However, if you prefer to replace just one, get a tester to check the sensors.

You need to put the vehicle in programming mode, which is very easy. Insert the key in the ignition, press the brake once, and turn the key three times.

Press the brake and turn off again, then turn on and turn the key three more times. You will hear a "beep". You are in programming mode.

Now bring the tester close to the valve. If the sensor works, you will hear a horn sound; otherwise, it will remain silent.
