Standard Ignition TPM116A Tire Pressure Monitoring System Sensor

OE-Style TPMS Sensor for Ford and Lincoln

The Standard Ignition TPM116A is a pre-programmed tire pressure monitoring system sensor built to OE protocol, so it is ready for installation and factory relearn procedures right out of the box. It is designed for 315 MHz applications across Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and Mercury vehicles, including Ford F-150, Ford Escape, and Lincoln MKZ coverage.

Key Features

• Pre-programmed at the factory to the exact OE protocol
• 315 MHz frequency for supported Ford and Lincoln TPMS systems
• Metal inflation valve with clamp-in mounting design
• Battery-powered sensor with military-grade lithium battery
• Real-time pressure signal for direct tire pressure monitoring
• Nickel-coated core and included mounting hardware
• External-crystal oscillator for stable sensor communication
• Z-axis or dual XY-axis accelerometer for accurate wheel position and rotation data

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition TPM116A is an OE replacement TPMS sensor engineered to meet or exceed OE performance requirements and SAE2657 specifications. It is validated through extensive environmental and durability testing, including temperature cycling, thermal shock, humidity, frost, proof pressure, rapid deflation, contamination, salt fog, drop, centrifugal force, vehicle speed, and vibration testing. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 974-066 for the same application.

For drivers servicing Ford F-150, Ford Escape, Ford Transit, Ford Focus, Lincoln MKZ, and related 315 MHz platforms, TPM116A supports factory relearn procedures and direct tire pressure reporting. The low-power wakeup timer and periodic reset help preserve battery life and shelf life, while the sensor electronics are built for stable communication with the vehicle receiver.

Common Problems This Sensor Can Help Solve

• TPMS warning light caused by a failed wheel sensor
• Inaccurate or missing tire pressure readings
• Sensor battery failure on aging Ford and Lincoln TPMS systems
• Service issues after tire replacement or wheel repair
• Communication faults on 315 MHz OE-style TPMS setups
