This OE tyre pressure sensor is designed for the 433MHz direct TPMS fitted to Ford passenger cars, and it replaces the original sensor on Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Kuga and Escape models without any change to the wheel or the loom. The difference from a standard snap-in unit is the valve: an aluminium alloy stem with an anodised finish and a nickel plated core, clamped through the rim instead of pushed into it. That metal option is what most European and export workshops ask for when a car runs low profile tyres, alloy rims or heavy load, because a metal stem does not deform when the wheel is refitted at speed. Each sensor is supplied pre-programmed for the listed Ford applications, sealed to IP67 and pressure tested, so a fitter only needs to complete an OBD relearn after installation. One part number therefore covers the four cylinder and five cylinder Ford passenger car range across a workshop's whole service book.

Q: Why choose a metal valve stem tyre pressure sensor instead of a rubber one?
A: A metal stem is clamped through the rim with a nut instead of pushed into the hole, so it resists deformation on low profile tyres, alloy wheels and high load use. It also survives repeated tyre changes without the stem shoulder cracking, which is the most common cause of a slow leak on a rubber stem.
Q: Does this sensor fit both the tyre and tire spelling markets?
A: Yes. It is one physical part number that answers tyre pressure sensor requests from the UK, Ireland and Australia as well as tire pressure sensor requests from North America, because the Fusion and Escape share the same 433MHz protocol as Focus, Fiesta and Kuga.
Q: Do I need a programming tool after fitting?
A: No bench programming is required, because each sensor arrives pre-programmed for the listed Ford applications. Fit the sensor, inflate to the door placard pressure, then run the relearn through an OBD tool or the dashboard menu and drive 5-10 minutes above 25km/h.
Q: What is the MOQ and can you supply a mixed pack?
A: MOQ is 50 pieces. Mixed orders across the five listed models are accepted from 100 pieces, with stock shipped in 5-7 working days and branded packaging from 500 pieces.
Ford passenger cars share a narrow set of 433MHz sensor platforms, and that is exactly why a single metal stem OE tyre pressure sensor can replace so many original units. Fewer part numbers on the shelf, one relearn procedure for the fitter, and a stem that survives the next tyre change: that combination is what keeps a service counter profitable on small jobs.
