Tire Pressure Sensor Fault (light)

[Lady Dominatrux]

Question would a car charger cause the TPMS to go off.

Seriously? Sorry Ford, if you can't build a system that can't handle real world radio interference, it's your own fault.

Check your pressures, if they're all good- put a piece of tape over the indicator. Check your tire pressure occasionally, like people have done for decades before the Gov't decided we all needed a light and more expensive electronics that will eventually fail

I will check them tomorrow morning before I head up to Tunnel View. I don't have one of those digital tire pressure but I guess the one that I have will work.

I'm still using a stick type gauge. Had 3 electronic types and they gave varying readouts that I didn't trust 'em anymore

I used the stick pick and it read 35 psi on all of my tires (which that is what is said on my drivers side door). The stupid warning light is still coming on which is really annoying. It flashes for a few seconds but then goes on.

Ignore the light and get the sensors replaced when you get home.

So I am okay to drive to Yosemite while I'm still here and drive home tomorrow.

Because all of this happening has seriously shot my nerves and made me think I would blow out a tire.

You'll be fine, if the pressures are right then the sensors are screwed up.

Ok. Thanks for the help. Now I kind of wish I took an auto class in HS.

I agree with Ken, I assume the 35psi is what the installers inflated them to. If they've held this long, it's probably just an issue with the sensor-or like the vid you posted- interference from somewhere else. Did you unplug your cellphone charger?

Check a few more times, if the pressures are steady, you don't have a tire problem. Mine don't seem to trigger the light until they're down almost 15psi
