Frequently asked questions
2019 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium shown

On a Ford Fusion Energi, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires may be at least 25 percent below the placard pressure, or the tire-pressure monitoring system may have a fault.

Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa provides tire pressure light diagnosis for the Ford Fusion Energi, checking both tire inflation and sensor operation.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ford Fusion Energi

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the placard inside the driver's door jamb. A temperature change can bring on the light because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees, especially after a cold night. The pressure should be set at the next stop because an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter.

If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains illuminated, the tire-pressure monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. A steadily lit light points to tire pressure or a possible leak; a flashing-then-steady light calls for sensor-system diagnosis.

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, helping separate 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 vehicle can recognize the sensor signals correctly. This process addresses the steadily lit warning as well as the flashing startup warning. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa for a complete pressure and sensor check.
