My 2014 FORD F150 reads "Low Tire Pressure"

[lowell holmes]

How do I disable the warning? The tires are properly inflated including the spare.

I think I will take the truck to the local dealer.

[Paul F Franklin]

The batteries in the TPM units in the tires do eventually die, although they usually last 10 years or so. But I think you get a different warning when the transducer fails. The dealer can certainly sort it out; most tire dealers as well.

time to trade for a Toyota? :D

[Steve Eure]

As Paul stated, it's on the wheels themselves. The sensors go bad or the batteries die or get weak and they will go off intermittently. It's a pain because it makes you think you have a slack tire and then in a short time it will go back off. I have asked my tire dealer to help with this and he tells me I have to go to the Ford dealer to have the problem fixed. Out of warranty will cost too. I don't know if warranty applies to the sensors or not. Good luck. I hope you have better results than I did.

I thought the full size Toyotas were designed and made in the USA not like the made in China Ford cars which are the only cars Ford still sells.

Of course, the Tundra is built in...Texas... ;)

If you're looking for a pickup, Cars.com says these are the five most American-made:



Honda Ridgeline
Chevrolet Colorado
GMC Canyon
Ford F-150
Toyota Tundra

This happened to my wife's Mini Cooper: TPMS warning sometimes multiple times per day, it was driving her insane. The tire place said it wasn't the batteries in the individual valve stems and it was driving us nuts. Then one day, other systems started "not coming on", like A/C fan and weird intermittent CEL's. Took it to the shop and lo and behold, the battery was at something like 10%. Replaced the battery, every issue went away. Moral of our tale was that apparently, lots of these systems are voltage-dependent and start to misbehave if the main battery is getting weak. Might be worth checking out.

OK, the op has an annoying but somewhat trivial false warning and now we have him buying a new pickup truck! Only on the creek!

[Howard Garner]

Has the OP reset the tire monitor? My VW has a setting that after you verify the pressure is correct, you tell it and it remembers the sensor setting at that time.

When the battery gets old the sensors start failing on cold mornings. That's how they went in my Nissan Frontier. I just let 'em die and I ignore the idiot light and keep an eye on my tyres like we did before Ford screwed up the design of the Exploder chassis. They cheaped out and changed to leaf springs in the rear instead of coils that were originally spaced. Didn't save any money in the long run. Then we all had to pay for TPS in all new cars thanks to a new federal regulation. Boon for the MEMS suppliers, 5 per car....

Actually that's pretty tame, I thought for sure the process was to decide to build a bird feeder, then need a $30K combination machine and a $50K truck to bring it home.

Followed of course by another trip in the truck to pick up a board to make the bird feeder from ;)

Just like the poor guy who asks about the best router table and gets told the he really needs a tilting head shaper that only comes in 3 phase & here is a link to the VFD he needs.

[Bob Grier]

I discovered that some VW vehicles (Audi, maybe others) use a different system for low tire pressure warning. The system warns of low pressure if one wheel/tire is rotating faster than the others. If all tires are low pressure then no warning.

Lots more tpms info if you search google for '2014 d150 tpms'.

Edit to add: BTW, I love my Texas Tundra. 2013 with 60K miles and absolutely no issues.I

Lowell,
Of course i was only kidding you by suggesting that you buy a Toyota! :D:)

[Jay Champagne]

Any chance this coincides with replacing your tires?
These tire sensors are a little computer inside the wheel and tire shops like to break them for you.
F150 definitely uses these, not wheel speed monitoring like some others do.
Sometimes these just go bad. There are tools that can read these sensors, not just at the dealer. They are commonly available. So you are not limited to the dealer if you have a preferred shop.
I'm a Toyota tech and I actually prefer one made by Wurth vs the Toyota tool, it's what we use.

[lowell holmes]

I am aware of the sensors. I will go to discount tire and have them deal with it.

[Myk Rian]

My Wife has a 2010 Taurus. Same deal with the tire sensors. a couple of the tire valve stems leaked. New stems set with a thin smear of silicone fixed the leaks.

We don't?:confused:

Having the same issue with a 2015 Transit right now. All pressure is good. I’m sure it’s the seasonal temp changes.
If you figure this one out, I’d love to know too. I have gone throught the reset. It’s about the equivalent of standing on one leg, facing north & offering a chicken to the Ford Gods. But it worked.
Not sure if it’s the same but, this is the reset for the transit- https://www.drivingtesttips.biz/ford-transit-dashboard-warning-lights/reset-tyre-pressure-warning-light.html

What's wrong with that pose? :D
