Frequently asked questions
2022 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon Xlt shown

On the Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon, the tire pressure light 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 placard pressure, or that the tire pressure monitoring system has a fault. A steady light calls for tire pressure attention at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute after startup and then remains on indicates a system issue. Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, provides tire pressure light diagnosis for this minivan across all model years. The visit separates a tire needing air or repair from a sensor needing replacement by checking every tire and monitoring each sensor’s signal and battery status.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon

The warning appears as 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 pressure shown on the placard inside the driver’s door jamb. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten-degree temperature change. A tire may look fully inflated while still needing a pressure check. If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on, the tire pressure monitoring system itself has a 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 tire pressure light service checks 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 distinguish 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 function can recognize the serviced components. Drivers who notice a steady light, a light after a temperature drop, or a flashing light followed by a steady warning can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa.
