merlin_gr Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hi guys, last week i got my brand new fiesta delivered. Although i knew it's equipped with Tpms, reading the manual i understood that it would only show a notification only if the tired lost its pressure and not the actual values. But on the car menu in the information tab i can see the tyre pressure as well. The problem is that, when i corrected the pressure after the delivery even though i reseted the system via the menu, i have got wrong pressures shown. I have 33psi at front and 28psi back but it shows 37psi and 30psi. I 've reseted the system and did what the manual says after reset ( driving for a while above a certain speed) but without luck. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsk Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Have just checked mine. Two readings match. One reading 1 psi difference. One reading 2 psi difference. Is it possible your tyre pressure gauge is out. If I remember right you get a warning if your tyre pressure drops 5% so if you have a difference between actual and indicated you will still get the warning if you have a pressure drop which is the main thing. Now I come to think of it I believe the pressure drop required for the warning to occur is 20%. This would give a drop of 6 psi on a 30 psi tyre. Where as 5% would be 1.5 psi. A bit to critical as a tyre could lose that on really cold day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
