Not sure but i do know if you got aftermarket wheels and they do not have the ports for the Tire Sensors then you will not be able to keep the light out. Your going to have to get wheels that accept the sensors or if your current wheels do then have the ones from the stock wheels installed.

Yea I should have kept the fanblades on when I bought the car....I chose the lesser grade rims because I thoughtt I'd get aftermarket wheels....Look like I'll be buying wheels from the dealer. [&:]

You do not need to buy the wheels from the dealer, you just have to take the sensor out of the factory wheels and install them in the new ones. If you whent up in size you will need larger bands but they are not that pricey. Any dealer can relocate the sensor from one wheel to another, and most wheel and tire shos can as well (and will probably be a little cheaper). If you do not fell like changing the sensor around you can have new ones instlled but then it starts to get even more expensive.

Exactly. I wasnt sure how the sensor were attached on the 07's but it sound like they use the Band style intead of the valve stem style.

The SCT will not clear that.I have the same problem and was hoping it would. A friend of mine that is a ford mechanic told me there was no way to turn it off.

There is no way to turn it off you need to swap sensors around, thats the only way I was able to get it fixed.

I put mine in a sealed pvc tube with a valve stemand mounted it in the trunk, problem solved. Cheapest way to go.
