TPM Light Flashing
Each time I start the Expedition (05 XLT), the TPM light flashes for a few seconds then goes off. The tires are all properly inflated. I read the manual and it just says a generic "see your dealer" if the light is flashing. Anyone know what it means?

IOW, you'll have to see your dealer.
TPMS indicator flashes (flashes for 20 seconds after prove-out. The TPMS indicator flashes for the following three reasons:
1) No Communication with the TPMS Module (integral to VSM) — The TPMS indicator is illuminated when the instrument cluster (IC) has received no signals from the VSM for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart .
2) Tire Pressure Sensor Fault — If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is malfunctioning. GO to Symptom Chart .
3) Tire Pressure Monitor Fault — If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT when the tire pressure monitoring system is malfunctioning. GO to Symptom Chart .

My '04 does the same thing, more when it's cold then any other time. It'll flash for a few seconds then go out.
I'm not going to sweat it. The one time last summer when I actually had a tire that was low and loosing air, the light came on and stayed on, so it works as designed.
