not sure of fords electrical systems, but i think jeeps tpms is in kahoots with the esc and when the light is on, it affects the driveblity of the vehicle. But yes you can switch the sensors over from the old to the new, most shops should have the equipment, but would be nice for them if you were to give them a heads up that you do have banded ones.

I could've sworn that the air pressure sensor had nothing to do with actual pressure. I thought that the computer measured the revolutions of the tires via ABS sensors and calculated it that way. Basically if one tire consistently turned slower it would set it off. Maybe I'm completely wrong but I think D94R might know something about this.

if you mount and balance your own tires its easy. first make sure you break the bead near the valve stem because the air sensor should be located opposite the valve stem. them all the need is a flat head screw driver to loosen the bands enough to where they fall of and then you just tighten them on your new wheels.
