MOUNTED BOLT-ON SENSOR
The valve mounted sensors (also known as a Schrader Valve Sensor) are one-piece "bolt-on" valve mounted sensor where the sensor and valve stem are molded together. The sensor is secured in place by a hex nut and uses a rubber grommet to prevent any leaks. This sensor was replaced by the Banded Sensor.

MOUNTED SNAP-IN SENSOR
Beginning in 2009 with the Escape and F-150, a two piece snap-in valve mounted sensor was used. The sensor and valve stem are separate pieces which are screwed together and can be replaced separately.
The sensor is referred to as "snap-in" because it uses a more traditional rubber valve stem for installation and does not use a hex nut fastener or rubber o-ring for attachment.
NOTE: Snap-In Sensors MUST USE new style valve stem.

PROCEDURE 1
NOTE: If tire pressure sensor is replaced, it will need to be trained. The TPM system is not affected by wheel and tire rotation.
NOTE: As ambient temperature decreases by 6°C (10°F), tire pressure decreases 1 psi (7 kPa). Because tire pressures fluctuate with temperature changes, tire pressures must be set when tires are at outdoor ambient temperatures. If the tire pressure may drop enough to be detected by the TPM system, which will activate the low pressure warning light.
NOTE: When the tire pressure warning light comes on solid and message center displays "LOW TIRE PRESSURE", check the air pressure of all tires and adjust to the specified cold pressure listed on vehicle certification label (found on driver's door or door pillar). Drive the vehicle at 20 mph (32 km/h) for at least 2 minutes. If the vehicle has been
