• Q: How to Service and Repair the TPMS Sensor with Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) on 2011 Lincoln MKS?

  A: When performing repairs or servicing of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) it is essential to check that the vehicle has remained stationary less than 30 minutes to prevent sensor entry into "sleep mode." The wakeup procedure activates the sensors which then transmit newest tire pressure readings to the Smart Junction Box (SJB). The sensor training process should take place in a space without radio frequency noise while keeping at least one meter distance from neighboring vehicles with TPMS. The Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool needs another attempt to activate following wheel rotation by at least one-fourth of a turn when a sensor does not respond. The Smart Junction Box needs 2 minutes to detect sensors through the sensor recognition process however failures will trigger horn alarms twice while displaying "TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT" at the message center requiring another tries of the procedure. A wheel rotation procedure following different tire pressure implementation enables TPMS to prevent the indicator from activating. Perform this task when you stop behind the brake pedal while switching the ignition to OFF. Turn the ignition switch to RUN three times after beginning with OFF and ending on RUN position and then push the brake pedal before turning the ignition to OFF. The process of cycling the ignition should be performed again in order for the horn to sound once and the IPMS indicator to flash as the message center shows "TRAIN LF TIRE." The Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool should be placed on the LF tire sidewall adjacent to the valve stem, and then press the test button which will trigger a brief notification through the horn. Apply this tire training exercise for the RF tire within 2 minutes but never let the time gap between sensors exceed 2 minutes during the training process. After training each tire proceed to the RR and LR tires where you must stop the procedure when the message center shows "TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE." The absence of a message center allows the user to check for successful completion through an Off position of the ignition switch that does not produce horn sounds. The training process failed when the horn sounds two times. The scan tool must be used to record updated sensor identifiers for warranty claims while also clearing DTCs and conducting a On-Demand Self Test when performing new sensor installs to verify other system concerns do not exist.
