Frequently asked questions
2018 Ford Transit Van 350 High Roof Wsliding Passenger Side Door shown

On a Ford Transit Van, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard when the light stays on, while a flashing light at startup that remains illuminated indicates a tire-pressure monitoring system fault. The symbol is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. Tire pressure can fall about one psi for every ten degrees of temperature change, and an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so pressure should be set at the next stop. A tire pressure diagnosis checks both the tires and their sensors to identify the next step.

For Ford Transit Van drivers in Mesa, Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa provides tire pressure light service at 460 East Auto Center Drive. The visit separates a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing, helping the driver respond to the warning with clear diagnostic information.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ford Transit Van

The tire pressure warning appears as 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 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 of temperature change. A tire may also look fully inflated even when its measured pressure has fallen below the required level. If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on, the monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. Underinflation increases tire wear and heat, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

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 scanned for its signal and battery status. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems, which can help distinguish a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring equipment can recognize the serviced components. This process addresses a steady warning and a flashing startup warning by checking both tire condition and sensor operation. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa.

What does the tire pressure light look like on a Ford Transit Van?It looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside.

A steady light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the driver’s door-jamb placard pressure. A tire pressure check can identify the affected tire.

Why is the tire pressure light on when the tires look full?The tires may be below placard pressure even when they appear fully inflated.

Pressure can drop about one psi for every ten degrees of temperature change, especially after a cold night. A measured pressure check separates an inflation need from another tire or sensor concern.

What does a flashing tire pressure light mean?A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on indicates a monitoring system fault.

The fault is usually a tire pressure sensor whose battery has run down. A sensor signal and battery scan can help identify that condition.

Can a Ford Transit Van keep driving with the tire pressure light on?The tire pressure should be set at the next stop when the light is on.

An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter. Tire pressure and the monitoring system should be checked to distinguish a tire needing air or repair from a sensor issue.
