Issue With Type Pressure Monitoring System

[Peterjones]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help or has had a similar situation with their car in the past. My fiesta has decided to display various different messages linked to the TPS system. Common is to get the check type pressures warning when driving a higher speeds at very random and intermittent times, however it will then just turn itself off.

Also I've had the tyre pressure sensors not found message and the flashing system failure light, however like the above issue , it has just cleared itself.

I took it in for a service last week and asked them to look at it, was told all it needed was resetting which they had done, however clearly the issue is still there and it's something else.

I will book it back in tomorrow , hover just wondering if anyone can shed any thoughts on what it could be?

Probably just a faulty sensor.

Standard practice with all manufacturers is to reset and if it doesn't fail again in the time it is with them they won't actually change anything.

Only when it fails again will they look into it more.

They should be able to the read the fault codes to know which sensor is failing.

As you haven't said otherwise...

Have you actually checked your tyre pressure?

Yes checked that and sat at the dealership now. Appears they are baffled as well as it doesn't tell them which sensor is reporting the error.. Seems a bit silly in the Ford system doesn't it.

Have you had a tyre/ puncture repair recently if so they could have smashed the valve I have done this many of times at work
