TPMS problem

If Ford tried to send him away and something was actualy wrong aside from low pressure, they would be at fault. At the very least, they will check your pressure and fill if needed, then let you know not to go back to the same pump anymore. Like I said I wasn't trying to open a can of worms here.I just thought(hoped) it might have been a common problem. I've checked the pressure with 3 different gauges. I was trying to save a trip to the dealer...cuz you know what that means! The problem won't appear for them and then I will just have wasted my time, and then after mucho trips to them they'll end up replacing a sensor. Anyway, Thanks again!

Didn't take it that way.

But I doubt that any discussion of TPMS on an enthusiast forum without the discussion drifting a bit is possible. TPMS is a new system of marginal usefulness to most enthusiasts. One that in and of itself it does nothing for either performance or ride and mostly just represents more regulatory interference with the automotive hobby. Remember that the chief reason for its requrement is that a relatively few Explorer owners failed to maintain their tires at either recommended or adequate inflation pressures.
