Good question. Either that or hopefully they have a small magnet and coil (like the batteryless flashlight, that you shake). They probably have a battery though.

The 07's have tire pressure sensors? May I ask, "Why?" lol

My fathers 2000 vette has those also. Hes replaced them twice. lol

They send out a very low voltage signal, designed to work for 5 years +. If you dont put them onto your new wheels you will get a blinking tire pressure light everytime you start the car. It will blink about 10 times and then go off. As for the other light mentioned with the arrow pointing at a speedometer, that is your cruise control light.

Federal law, for one thing. By 2008 (?), all new cars will have them. I did some research on the internet, and there seems to be two kinds. One kind is with the in-the-wheel sensors like the '07 Mustangs. The other type is tied to the ABS. They work on the principle that a tire that is low rotates at a different speed than one that's inflated properly. Both types have their downsides.

Nah, it's more probably a communication issue. The dash designers weren't included in the discussions concerning the rest of the car, so they built in a feature that everyone else forgot to implement....or the other way around.

Got some pics of your Stang?

Sorry, I've been away for a while. All of my pics are too large to post. I can e-mail them to you tomorrow if you would like.

or, you can learn how to shrink its size by following this procedure:

1. open them in micorsoft paint
2. go to the toolbar and open image.
3. inside image select stretch/skew
4. inside stretch/skew go to stretch and change the horizontal/vertical to lets say 70%
5. save
6. normally 1 or 2 mb pics will be reduced to about 300-400kb or less

with a smaller size, you can post easily here...good luck.

Your tires dont have to rotate for the sensors to work. The pcm reads the sensor once a minute when the car reaches 32mph. If the car is not moving the sensor goes to sleep to save the battery.If you let the air out of one tire after a minute or two the light will come on, then refill the light goes out after a little time. I put all 4 sensors in a 2 inch sealed pvc tube with a valve stem in one end set pressure to 32psi mounted it in the trunk light went out. Best way to go !!!

what? i have a flat tire (very small leak it takes a month to go down) today it was almost complete flat but i never saw any warnings.. so do 06s have that tire pressure warnings or something? or just 07+
