Need Help and No One is Answering
I have posted this question in diiferent threads on this forum, and I have posted it on different forums. Someone please answer me. I just want to rotate my tires man!
Ok, I'm sure this is a stupid question, and I am sure it is answered a million times somewhere on here; but I have already looked through so many pages and other forums I am just going to ask it again. I hope that all of you in your infinite wisdom and experience can help out a novice who just doesn't trust other people to do something this easy and important.
I have a 2012 Ford Egde SEL AWL. I would like to rotate my tires. On my old Mazda 3 I could rotate them and everything was fine with the TPMS. This leads me to believe everything will be just fine with my Edge, but because I opened my big mouth and let other people know what I was doing they insisted on making me research this online and now I am nervous about it because apparently people actually do have an issue with this. So now I have to know, if I rotate my tires myself at home without a relearning tool, will I mess up my TPMS? I never once reset the TPMS in my 2004 Mazda 3, maybe I should have, but I never did and it always worked just fine. Is that the case with my newer model Ford, or will all hell break loose and my TPMS will never work right again? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,

are all the tires are the same size and pressures front to rear?
if yes, go ahead and rotate them. rotate front to back if the tires are directional tires. clean the rim and hub mounting surface if you live in the rust belt. torque everything to spec with a torque wrench and set the pressures 2 psi higher than the placard setting.
easy on the triplicate posts. it will take more than 2hours to get a reply sometimes.

Did you have a chance to check your owner's manual ?
Some Ford vehicles come with a special tool to relearn the new tire position if necessary. There is no cut and dried procedure. The TPMS are different for many Ford vehicles. Some were changed according to year, some according to model etc.
I wouldn't be too concerned with messing up the system since with the proper info and tools it can always be corrected.
