TPMS Issues
TPMS Issues
Post by rtf505 » Mon Apr 15, 2019 4:06 pmI've got a TPMS that comes up in the Message Center of my 14 F250 4WD Crew. When I mash the reset on the steering wheel, the message goes away, but the low tire indicator in the lower right corner of the instrument panel stays lit. Everytime I start up, I have to reset to get it out of the message center. I have reset it multiple times through FORScan, but when I cycle the ignition, it finds the same DTC.
I'm open for any and all suggestions and yes, I've corrected all my tire pressures to what the door panel recommends. . .

How old are the sensor valves in your tires? They can/do go bad. Looks like that is what your message is telling you. Wonder if maybe a bad valve is triggering the message and that’s why you can’t get rid of it
another thing to try is put more air in - if you’re at 55 psi, put in 70 (assuming you have load E tires) and drive it for a few days and see if it resets

Did you check your spare as well?
My first experience with this TPMS thing started last year with my daughter's Honda Ridgeline. From what I've researched, the batteries in these things do die eventually, so you have to replace them.
Personally, I hate them...stuff like this just adds another layer of laziness when it comes to vehicle maintenance. Whatever happened to a 10-point inspection? Are people *really* so lazy/clueless that they need an alarm to tell them that their tires are low?
Luckily when have oil gauges so we don't have to check that either, eh?

The TPMS sensors in my 2013 died at 5 years and I started getting all kinds of TPMS FAULT messages with the orange tire pressure light. I have put tires on it previously but I did not have them replace the sensors at the same time.
3 of the 4 would not respond when the tire shop held their TPMS scan tool up to the wheels. They're sealed but are powered by the same 2032 button cell battery in your key fob so they will definitely die.
