How to find a faulty TPMS sensor on a Ford Escape

Model: Ford Escape MK 3 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Tire pressure warning light

In this video we can see how to find a faulty TPMS sensor on the tires of our Ford Escape. Initially, the YouTuber thought it was interference from other electronic devices, but after eliminating them all, the problem continued to reoccur, so he decided to replace the faulty sensor. We recommend - when one fails - to replace them all, as they are usually activated all at the same time. However, if you prefer to replace only one, then make sure to have a tester to check the sensors. We need to put the car in programming mode, and it is very easy. We put the key in the ignition and press the brake once and turn the key three times. Press the brake and turn off again, turn on and turn the key three times again. We will hear a "beep". We are in programming mode. Now we approach the tester to the valve. If the sensor is working, we will hear a honk, otherwise it will remain silent.
