Frequently asked questions

The tire pressure light on a Ford Transit Connect means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard, or that the tire pressure monitoring system has a fault.

Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, provides tire pressure light diagnosis for Ford Transit Connect models across all model years. The service helps identify whether a tire needs air, a puncture or leaking valve stem needs attention, or a pressure sensor requires further service. Each monitored tire and sensor is checked so drivers can better understand why the warning appeared and take the appropriate next step.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ford Transit Connect

The warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

If the light remains on even though the tires look fully inflated, the tires and their pressure readings still need to be checked. If the light flashes for about a minute at start-up and then stays on, the monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa

The diagnosis includes a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver’s door jamb. Each tire pressure sensor’s signal and battery status are scanned, while the tires are inspected for punctures and leaking valve stems.

After any sensor or tire work, the monitoring system is relearned. This process separates a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing. Ford Transit Connect drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa for a complete tire pressure light check.
