Tire Pressure Monitoring

[haviland]

Loki, this post #10 would be great on my iPhone. I have the 12.0 version.


You wrote, "I am using a Kiwi 3 Adapter, the OBDFusion App(Free) with the Enhanced Ford Diags for 2017($9.99)." I will gladly do the same thing you did but I am not confident on how to complete the task.

How do I get a Kiwi 3 Adapter? Where do I find the OBDFusion App with the Ford Diags?

By seeing my questions, do you think it is likely I can figure out how to do this for my '17 Limited?

Thanks, Peter

Do you have an iPhone or Android Phone.

Google/Amazon Kiwi 3, and you will get hits for the adapter I am using. Other cheaper adapters might work, but I am still testing. I like the Kiwi because it is quick to connect, and doesn’t stick out of the OBD port far.

I am working on a set of instructions that I will put in a new post, it will be this weekend before I have a chance to post it. Once I do that, it might help you with you decision.

Yes, I have an iPhone version 12.0. I just looked up the price of the Kiwi 3 on Amazon Prime and it was about ninety bucks. I am afraid my total lack of technological skills makes that a purchase that would not be worth it to me.

But I'm sure there are many others out there that will benefit from your work in giving instructions on how to put this all together. Thank you for doing it.

Here you go, for those that don’t take my word for things lately.

nice.

if i remember correctly, when i was originally researching this, that the fenders are not instrumented? so when you do a tire rotation you have to re-program each tire to the correct position?

That is correct.

That is correct.

I have an addition problem. I had my TPS system reprogrammed last week and yesterday I had an alarm on the Kenwood yesterday that the left front tire was low. Upon checking it was the right front!
How do you sync these together?

Here you Go:

With Standard Ignition.
1. Inflate all tires to pressure listed on tire placard
2. Turn ignition to OFF position and press and release brake pedal.
3. Cycle ignition from OFF to RUN position 3 times, ending in RUN position.
4. Press and release brake pedal.
5. Turn ignition to OFF position.
6. Cycle ignition from OFF to RUN position 3 times, ending in RUN position.
7. Horn will sound once and TPMS telltale will blink once train mode is initiated. If equipped with message center, it will display TRAIN LF TIRE. Place antennae of learn tool on sidewall of LF tire 180 degrees from valve stem to activate sensor. Horn will sound once sensor has been recognized, Repeat step for RF, RR, and LR tires.
8. After training LR tire the message center will display TRAINING MODE COMPLETE. If the vehicle is not equipped with the message center display, successful completion can be verified by turning the ignition to the OFF position and not hearing the horn sound. If the horn sounds, the training procedure must be repeated.

9. Horn will sound once and TPMS telltale will blink once train mode is initiated.
10. Starting at LF tire, decrease air pressure until horn chirps. Repeat procedure for remaining tires in the following order: RF, RR, and LR. If equipped with banded sensors, place antennae of learn tool on sidewall of LF tire 180 degrees from valve stem to activate sensor. Horn will sound once sensor has been recognized. Repeat step for RF, RR, and LR tires.
11. After successfully programming the LR tire, the message center should display “TRAINING COMPLETE’

The problem with the WiFi versions of most of these is consistent connection. Your mobile device try’s to switch to your home wireless or things like that. So much of a pain. STAY away from the OBDLINK WiFi model for FORSCAN programming, it is terrible.

I guess I wasn't clear. Discount Tire Ran the Training procedure you described a
above but the Kenwood display is not synced to the actual tire on the screen that's low in pressure. Kenwood displayed a low LF tire when it was actually the RF tire.
