Hi gang. The information below is thanks to "TomV" over on the Lincoln MKZ forums. It will work the same for late model year Fusions: "I thought I'd put together a reference thread for how to re-learn the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors in the Lincoln. My aftermarket winter wheels have 315 MHz Senors (PN# F2GZ-1A189-A) and used my old cheap Motorcraft Sensor Tool (PN# TPMS-19). I followed the procedure below, that CJ Pony produced for the Mustang and it works for the Lincoln with push button start. S550 Mustang Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor Tutorial" I am going to pin this thread so it remains up top for those who need it now or in the future. Good luck.

Like several users I want to thank allan84 for the detailed description. I just bought a 2010 Fusion Hybrid with about 168,000 on it. This is my first Hybrid and the more I read, the more I didn't think it was staying in EV mode like it was meant to. I read your instructions yesterday, ordered the OBD from Amazon yesterday, received it today and performed the reset in about 10 minutes. I am very happy with the results. I am curious to what else I can do with the Forscan software. I have read that several people had their HVB re-balanced. Not sure if this is something I can do or should do myself like the age reset. I have never driven a new one so I am a bit unsure about how they SHOULD act. The vehicle is going to my daughter. Not exactly a Christmas present but the timing works out. Thanks again to you Allan. Any information on re-balancing or advice would be welcome. Thank You...

Tony, You were lucky to find a dealer with a tech who could read. I paid a Denver dealer $300 and the tech couldn’t get it. Mine was fixed by my 23 year old Grandson. It is wonderful to have a hybrid again! Apparently Ford Techs don’t post on a site like this. @allan84 is the real hero.

@allen84 Thanks so much for the explanation and instructions. My wife had been putting off the airbag recall and went in today. I printed the instructions and she showed them to the Service Rep. It was the first they'd heard of the issue. She called me as she drove home sounding as though she had been jumping for joy. She had her hybrid back! If anyone in the Chicagoland area encounters this problem, head over to Wickstrom Ford in Barrington. Ask for Mark Karm. He will know exactly what you're talking about and what to do. They charged one full hour of labor at $156. Steep, IMHO, but worth it to see the smile on my wife's face. [Edit: addition] After I made the original post, she told me the technician said the process worked exactly as the instructions said they would. Everything was exactly as imaged and explained. He gave her kudos for having done the research; she gave the kudos to me; I'm passing them on to Allen.
