Tire pressure sensor fault

[HarryTitus]

Hi All!

 

Hey, I've been driving my new 2017 King Ranch F250 now for 6 months. Have not had anything wrong with it until this week. It was a 20 degree snowy day and suddenly the tire pressure light dings on! At first I thought I was having a flat, so I switched over to the tire pressure screen and saw that it wasn't a low tire at all! The left front wheel showed no output at all, just 3 little dashes, as if the sensor itself had stopped sending a signal. The other three tires showed normal pressures.The condition went on for several hours then suddenly went back to normal all by itself. Cool! I thought. Then yesterday while running 70 MPH up Rt 30 near Fort Wayne, 33 degrees and snowing, the light dinged on again! Crap! So I checked the tire screen but found that this time the left rear was not sending a signal! Now, I don't know whether it's the sensors or the monitoring system, but, this morning the light is off and the system is working perfectly.

 

Have any of you had this happen? Is there a service bulletin? Just wondered before I go bother the service department about it.

 

Thanks!

Yes, I have had the same Problem. The left front was the first. We were travelling in the cold weather it showed sensor failure then when we hit a pothole it would come alive again for a while then go off again. Now it has switched to the right front and the left is ok for now.I have not gone to the Ford dealer as I was waiting till I returned home and go to the dealer I purchased it from 2017 F350 diesel single rear wheel 4x4.
