Ford Escape Hybrid Tire Pressure Light

Ford Escape Hybrid Tire Pressure Light service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ

Frequently asked questions

On a Ford Escape Hybrid, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard, or the monitoring system has a fault.

Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, helps Ford Escape Hybrid drivers understand and address this warning with a focused tire pressure light diagnosis. The service is designed for the moment the horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point appears, whether it follows a cold night, remains illuminated even though the tires look full, or flashes before staying on. Each monitored tire and pressure sensor receives attention so the visit can separate a tire needing air or repair from a sensor needing replacement. Drivers can use the dealership's service scheduler to request assistance for their Ford SUV at a convenient time.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ford Escape Hybrid

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

If the light remains on while the tires look fully inflated, the pressure still needs to be checked against the placard, along with the tire pressure sensors. A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on means the monitoring system itself has a fault, usually because a sensor battery has run down. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the warning should not be left unaddressed.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa

The diagnosis begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver's door jamb. Each tire pressure sensor is then scanned for its signal and battery status. This separates a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing.

The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring equipment can recognize the serviced components. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa for a complete check of the warning light.
