The 2020-and-newer Ford Explorer (U625) has a direct TPMS with a sensor in each wheel. For a normal low-pressure warning there’s nothing to press; some versions also need a relearn after a rotation because front and rear pressures differ. This is the US-market procedure.
Clear a low-pressure warning
- Set all four tires to the correct cold pressure from the placard.
- Drive at least 2 minutes above 20 mph (32 km/h) — the light turns off by itself.
Relearn after a rotation (vehicles with different front/rear pressures)
- Drive above 20 mph for 2 minutes, then park. Ignition OFF (key in), then ON (engine off).
- Cycle the hazard flashers on and off three times within 10 seconds — one horn chirp means relearn mode.
- At each wheel in order — left-front, right-front, right-rear, left-rear — let air out until the horn sounds.
- Switch off and set all four to the placard pressure.
Fitting new sensors still needs a dealer. The cold pressures are on the Tire Label on the driver’s door edge or B-pillar.
FAQ
Which method do I use?
For a simple low-tire light, inflate and drive. If your Explorer runs different front and rear pressures, use the hazard-flasher relearn after a rotation so each sensor is matched to its corner.
Do I need a tool?
No — both methods are tool-free; only fitting new sensors needs a dealer.
Light stays on.
Re-check cold pressures; if it won’t clear, a sensor may be faulty or the spare is fitted.
If your Explorer stores a fault code with the warning light, look it up on autodtcs.com.
