I assume they would. I don't think Ford would use different systems on different vehicles.

I think they would have to be programmed.

go to auto zone or where ever, buy a tire pressure gauge and boom, done. i never understood the point of that crap. it takes all of 3 mins to check 4 tires every once in a while.

the tire light will be on unless you retrain each tire

What style TPMS sensors? I don't think valve stem and band style can be changed but I could be wrong. As for band to band yes they can be I've done it on my car all you need to do is retrain the sensors which takes about 10 minutes each car, I'm sure valve stem style can be interchanged also.

Band style, 06' Explorer. How do you retrain the sensor's ?

Most tire shops will have a TPMS retraining tool. Swap the wheels over and procedure is pretty basic they can look it up on AllData or Mitchell.

just swap the wheels and bring it to your dealer to retrain the sensors. there is a special tool needed to perform the training. they shouldn't charge anything for this either
