Are you wondering why the display on your Ford vehicle now says “TRAIN LEFT FRONT TIRE“? What is this, and what does it mean?
“Train Left Front Tire” is a message displayed on the dashboard of your Ford car, indicating that the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) needs to be calibrated or trained.
The TPMS uses sensors on each wheel to measure the air pressure, and these sensors need to be configured to communicate with the car’s onboard computer.

Why is it Showing This Message?
When this message appears, your vehicle is in a mode where it is reinitializing the tire pressure sensors. Most vehicles are placed in this mode when the hazard lights button is pressed 5 times rapidly, or the ignition has been turned between OFF and RUN 3 times after depressing the brake pedal.
The message also typically appears when a tire has been replaced, or the sensor battery has been replaced.
Next Steps
If you accidentally ended up in this mode, you might want to cancel out of it. To do so, turn the electronics completely off by turning the ignition to “Off” or pressing the “Start” button. The tire pressure management system should remain unaffected.
Training the left front tire involves resetting the sensor and allowing the car to read and recognize the sensor’s signal. Training the tire helps maintain the correct tire pressure, enhancing your tire’s performance and longevity.
