1. Make sure all tires are inflated to vehicle specifications.
2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF then press and release the brake pedal.
3. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN (engine OFF) 3 times, ending in the RUN position. Do this within 10 seconds.
4. Press and release brake pedal
5. Turn the ignition switch back to OFF.
6. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN (engine OFF) 3 times, ending in the RUN position. Do this within 10 seconds.

8. Place the top of the FORDTRIGGER on the sidewall of the driver's side front tire in the location of the valve stem.
9. Press the button of the FORDTRIGGER tool. The vehicle's horn will sound letting you know the sensor has learned.
10. Once the horn sounds, move on to the passenger side front tire and repeat the process. Each tire should only take 30 seconds or less.
11. After the passenger side front tire has been learned, continue on to the passenger side rear tire and finishing with the driver's side rear tire.
