Frequently asked questions
2020 Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid Titanium shown

The tire pressure light on a Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point that signals one or more monitored tires may be at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door jamb, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains illuminated indicates a tire pressure monitoring system fault; because underinflation can increase tire wear and heat, the pressure should be addressed at the next stop.

At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, Arizona, the tire pressure light service helps distinguish a tire needing air or repair from a sensor needing replacement through a complete pressure and signal check.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid

The warning symbol looks like a tire outline shaped like a horseshoe 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.

If the tires appear fully inflated but the light remains on, the vehicle still needs a pressure check against the door-jamb placard. A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on points to a monitoring-system fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. Underinflation causes faster wear and more heat, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa

The service includes checking the pressure of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver's door jamb. Each tire pressure sensor is scanned for its signal and battery status, helping separate a tire-pressure concern from a monitoring-system concern.

The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems. After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring components can communicate properly. Drivers noticing the light after a temperature drop, despite tires that look full, or after a flashing startup warning can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa.
