Frequently asked questions
2013 Ford E-Series Van E-150 shown

On the Ford E-Series Van, the tire pressure light—a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point—means one or more monitored tires may be at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard, or that the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault. A steady light calls for the tire pressure to be set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains on points to a monitoring-system problem, usually a sensor battery that has run down. Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa helps drivers identify whether the concern is low pressure, a puncture, a leaking valve stem, or a sensor signal issue across Ford E-Series Van model years.

Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, provides tire pressure light diagnosis for Ford E-Series Van drivers seeking a clear next step.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ford E-Series Van

The warning symbol looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more tires are at least 25 percent below the placard pressure on the driver's door jamb. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

If the light remains on even though the tires look fully inflated, the system needs a closer check. A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays illuminated means the monitoring system itself has a fault, usually because a sensor battery has run down.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa

The tire pressure light service includes checking the pressure of every monitored tire against the driver's door-jamb placard. Each tire-pressure sensor's signal and battery status are scanned to help separate a tire concern from a monitoring-system concern. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems.

After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the monitored tires correctly. This process identifies whether a tire needs air or a repair, or whether a sensor needs replacing. Drivers can schedule service with Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa.

A steadily illuminated symbol means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. The pressure should be set at the next stop.

Why is the tire pressure light on when the tires look full?The system may need a sensor and tire-pressure check even when the tires appear fully inflated.

What does a flashing tire pressure light mean?A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on indicates a tire-pressure monitoring system fault.

The fault is usually a sensor whose battery has run down. A sensor scan helps distinguish that concern from a tire that needs air or a repair.

Should I keep driving with the tire pressure light on?When the light is steadily illuminated, tire pressure should be set at the next stop.
