Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Tire Pressure Sensor Fault On Display All The Time

I would get "Tire Pressure Sensor Fault" on my display all the time. The problem occurred mostly on long trips, however, it would occur from time to time on shorter trips. I complained to the dealer about this every time I went in for an oil change. They could never find a problem and wanted me to bring it in when the fault was occurring. Of course these thing never happen when you're by a dealer. To my dealers credit they said they would fix the problem out of warranty if we can find it.

Well I found the problem. As strange as it sounds if I use the cigarette lighter with a power USB adapter to charge my phone or iPad I get the fault. If I use the 12V accessory port on the dash no fault.

Last weekend we drove to Nisswa MN & back (about 1,200 miles). To test the theory I only used the 12V accessory port and no fault occurred. Normally the fault would occur w/in 50 miles then just continue on being annoying the whole rest of the trip. I wish I would have found this out 57,000 miles ago. I use the adapter because the USB port on the dash will only charge my iPhone if the phone is off.

Ford - Explorer :: 2009 - Tire Pressure Sensor Fault / Low Tire Icon Flashing

2009 Ford Explorer, 6cyl, 4L, 33K miles. When its started up, the message "Tire Sensor Fault" appears along with the low tire icon flashing (steady light after ~30 seconds). I can then press the reset button on my dash to clear the message. However, the tire light icon stays lit. I've checked and re-checked the tire pressure in all the tires (spare included) and I'm right at the recommended 32-34 psi on all the tires. No signs of leaks at all. I'm assuming one (or more) of the tire pressure sensors have gone bad and there's no way for a garage (or myself) to identify which one or repair this. Should I assume a trip to the dreaded dealer for this problem ???

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Tire Pressure Sensor Showing Warning Light?

My is350 F sport tire pressure sensors. Well I have after market wheels with the stock tire pressure sensors, when they were first installed everything was fine, now about 2 months later now that it is a little cooler. My two back sensors are showing the warning light. it still reads the pressure and shows correct pressure but sensor warning light for both rear tires are on. Why this is? I was thinking the colder weather but why only the rear two and not the front. they go off and on but lately both have been on.

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Low Tire Pressure Light On / Fuel Indicator Not Rise Up When Gas Filled

I bought a new IS 250 F-sport 2 weeks ago and the tire indicator drives me crazy. The low tire pressure light on twice in a week. I added up to 36pis (Recommended Pressure) and all tires went down after a few days. I went back to Lexus today for tire pressure. Every tire is okay but tire pressure is low only. Btw, my gas indicator did not rise up after I filled gas. The indicator started to rise up after I drove about 2 miles. Is that normal for a new car?

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 - Oil Pressure Gauge Went Down To Zero And Light Came On

I just bought a 2011 F-150 with the 6.2 liter engine; only has 80k on it. After going for a ride today and stepping on it a couple times the oil pressure gauge went down to zero and the light came on. I shut it off and restarted and it was normal again but came on a few seconds later. I repeated the process a couple times and now its seems fine again.

Camry :: 2009 SE - Vibration In Steering Wheel / Tire Air Pressure Light Came On

We have a new to us 2009 camry that has a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Wife drives the car daily and says its rather inconsistent. The tire air pressure light came on so I was checking tires and noticed something and was wondering if this could be the vibration.

The outer edge tread on the rear tires seems to have wore unevenly. This is the best photo I could get. When you run your hand along it you can feel every other 'lug' is raised a little on the rear side of the tread.

REAR TIRE

The front tires are wore even, but it appears previous owner didn't rotate very often and plenty of tight turns were made or unproper inflation?

FRONT TIRE

Would rotate? The middle of the tires still have good tread left.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Tire Pressure Monitoring System Light Won't Go Away

As the title says, I can't get the light to go off. I followed the procedure to reset it but after it blinks three times, the light is still on. I've also read that I need to take the car above speeds of 19mph and/or an hour, for light to disappear but still nothing. Although I didn't drive it more than an hour since my commute is short. I've made sure that the pressure is around 30psi on all four tires.

Had snow tires on separate rims without pressure sensors installed today. Service rep said that the tire pressure warning light will come on and stay on.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Loud Knocking Noise - Oil Pressure Light Coming On And Off

2012 F150 6.2L V8... I am at a loss and I know that loud knocking is not a good sign. Two days ago my truck's low oil pressure light started coming on and off, so I pulled over and immediately turned my truck off. I called a friend at a Ford dealership and he asked a mechanic what I should do. He said it could be something as simple as low oil, bad oil sending unit or maybe something serious. So, he said check my oil level if low top it off and see if that fixes the problem. It was low and I topped it off, but the light kept doing the same thing.

Here's my dilemma; my truck wasn't making ANY noises (knocking, whining, etc...), 2 days later which was yesterday I was en route to get new oil/oil filter changed and 24 miles later I'm in a turning Lane and it dies! Will not start, but it tried, so I did not try anymore. I was able to get it into a parking lot and left it for about 4 hours and went to check on it and it started right up and that is when the knocking noise started. I turned it off and checked the oil and the level reads full...

Tire - Pressure :: Warning Light Showing 17 Psi And Pressure Gauge 40 Psi?

The tire pressure warning light has been on in my car for about a week. The dashboard computer says that the tire pressure in the front right tire is 17 psi, but when I use the pressure gauge, the reading is almost 40 psi. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing this problem?

Ford Escape / Hybrid :: 2009 - Tire Pressure Sensor Malfunction Fault

The facts: 2009 4x4 V6 Escape with Valve stem mounted TPMS

I am getting a tire pressure sensor malfunction fault. The warning light is on and the error message is displayed on the little screen in the gauge cluster.

What I have tried: First I should say I have replace to defective sensor twice now...

1) I put the escape in tpms train mode by hitting the hazard switch off/on about 6 times.

2) I used the train tool to train all the tires but there is one that is giving me trouble and will not train.

3) I tried deflating the problem tire and inflating it to the specified pressure given on the be pillar of the escape (30 psig)... after inflating it I tried to retain it with no luck.

4) I tried rotating the tires and as I mentioned earlier I have replaces the problem sensor twice. Still can't can't get the problem tire to train.

My thoughts:

1) I don't think this is a module error because I can train the other tires and since I rotated them I know their position is not a factor.

2) its possible that I have got two defective tpms sensors but I think that is unlikely.

3) I have read of another procedure to put the escape in tpms train mode that requires you to turn the ignition on/off, step on the break pedal, tap your head and rub your belly, etc... but I have not tried this method. Is there a difference from this train mode verse hitting the hazard switch on/off about 6 times?

4) Does the train tool only work on previously trained sensors? do I need to register the new TPMS sensor with the TPMS module? I have an OBDII tool that connects to scanXL software on my laptop which included the ford proprietary protocol. I looked for a way to program a tpms sensor (similar to how I did it with my toyota) but couldn't find the option.

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Tire Pressure With Nitrogen

just noticed a discrepancy between the door sticker and TPMS readings; 36PSI for the door sticker and 47PSI on the TPMS. A long story short, measured with a gauge and the TPMS readings are accurate sent a message to my dealer because I took delivery of the car 10 days ago, no answer. I understand those tires are filled with Nitrogen, are the original values (47PSI) a requirement for Nitrogen or should I deflate those tires to door stickers values ?
