2022 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van Xlt shown

On a Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van, the Tire Pressure Light is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point that signals one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door jamb when it stays steadily illuminated, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains on indicates a tire-pressure monitoring system fault, so Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, Arizona, checks both tire pressure and sensor operation to identify whether the vehicle needs air, a tire repair, or sensor attention and helps the driver respond before underinflation causes faster wear and increased heat.

Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa provides Tire Pressure Light diagnosis for Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van drivers at 460 East Auto Center Drive in Mesa, AZ.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van

The warning appears as a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When the light stays steadily on, one or more tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure printed 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, and a tire may require attention even when it does not look visibly low.

A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays illuminated points to a fault in the monitoring system itself, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop. A proper check separates a tire needing air or repair from a sensor requiring replacement.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa

The Tire Pressure Light service begins with a pressure check 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 distinguish low tire pressure 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 serviced components. This process addresses the situations drivers commonly notice first: a warning after temperatures drop, a light that remains on while tires look full, or a warning that flashes at startup before staying lit. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa for a complete pressure and sensor check.
