All I asked was where did you get the info. I am sure everyone would like that info.

I keep hearing about this also, new trucks..the system will recognize new sensors without any re-set. Although I can not vouch for this exactly, I can say the manual on my 2013 does not say one word in reference with TPMS other than it has the system (my 07 did). From what I can understand, the resetting tool is no longer needed. Can't prove it yet though.

As far as reading multiple sets of sensors, I have not heard this before which is why I asked where he found the info. I would definitely like to find the site where he found this as there may be other info that is useful. As far as my own sensors, I have to reset between winter and summer using the rest tool. 09 has the tool reset only.

Page 385 of your owners manual. How to reset TPMS. Since 2010, they do not require the reset tool to do the reset. However in the case of new sensors, the reset procedure in the book does not always work and the reset tool is needed.

Here is the start of it.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Reset Procedure
WARNING: To determine the required pressure(s) for your
vehicle, see the Safety Compliance Certification Label (affixed to
either the door hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the door edge that
meets the door-latch post, next to the driver’s seating position), or Tire
Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. See Load
Carrying for more information.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system reset procedure needs to be
performed after each tire rotation on vehicles that require different
recommended tire pressures in the front tires as compared to the rear
tires.
Overview
To provide the vehicle’s load carrying capability, some vehicles require
different recommended tire pressures in the front tires as compared to
the rear tires. The tire pressure monitoring system equipped on these
vehicles is designed to illuminate the low tire pressure warning light at
two different pressures; one for the front tires and one for the rear tires.
Since tires need to be rotated to provide consistent performance and
maximum tire life, the tire pressure monitoring system needs to know
when the tires are rotated to determine which set of tires are on the
front and which are on the rear. With this information, the system can
detect and properly warn of low tire pressures.
System reset tips:
• To reduce the chances of interference from another vehicle, the
system reset procedure should be performed at least three feet (one
meter) away from another Ford Motor Company vehicle undergoing
the system reset procedure at the same time.
• Do not wait more than two minutes between resetting each tire sensor
or the system will time-out and the entire procedure will have to be
repeated on all four wheels.
• A double horn chirp indicates the need to repeat the procedure.

This is in the third printing. I also checked the first printing. That too shows the reset on page 385.

I tried to do a search of the thread where the wake up was discussed, however, the search feature is not working correctly.
PS - just looked at the second printing. As you stated, it starts on page 378. Wonder what they dropped, then realized the forgot something, then put it back in.

Which I already stated. That procedure started with the 10 model. However, some have tried it with new sensors and it did not work. It would not "wake up" the new sensors. They had to have the dealer do the reset. The dealer would have used the reset tool.

I believe it will. To my knowledge, the part number has not changed for the reset tool. You could try it by going into the rest mode on the truck, then use the tool instead of letting out pressure. If it works, you will get the honk. If it doesn't, it just means that the system will not rest, and since it is already working, no harm no foul.
