TPMS Pressure Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The VSM monitors the air pressure in the 4 road tires with tire pressure sensors. The sensors transmit radio frequency (RF) signals to the VSM approximately every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds 32 km/h (20 mph).
The tire pressure sensors are battery operated and are mounted to metal brackets (called cradles) on the wheels inside the tires. The sensors are mounted 180 degrees from the valve stem.
The tire pressure sensor can be serviced separately from the cradle and the strap.
