Those with the 4" screen in the center cluster could also display it if someone @ Ford would write it in the IPC programming and offer it but it would also make owners take it in to the dealer because the only way to apply said programming is with IDS.


I doubt many would pay an hour labor for it.

PSI / faulty sensor

Well, Those are all great answers and solutions but, it seams like the sensors only go off while I'm driving on the freeway. I just cant see crawling on the hood of my car at 65 MPH with a decoder trying to find out which tire is low.
I was looking at some software on Google Play to run on my Android Phone but they don't work. The phone wants to pair with the sensors or pair with the Bluetooth receiver for the sensors.
I guess there's no way of connecting the SYNC to the TPMS is there?
Thanks for the reply's Guys

So did you stick a tire pressure gauge to find out which tire is low or are you looking for techy solution for a manual get on your knees problem?

Would recommend checking the tires' pressures using analog means (MEANING - tire gauge) and adjusting the PSI if necessary. If no tire is found to be out-of-range, then there is the possibility that you could have a faulty TPMS sensor - the dealership would be able to determine this using their OTC (or equivalent) tool.

The other possibility is that you have some electronic device plugged-in while you're driving that is causing interference with the TPMS sensor(s). There are several that could cause this.

On the same page as this, a guy I work with has an 09 F150 and every single time he gets to a certain spot on the hwy his tpms warning light pops on, no loss of pressure in any of his tires so we pretty much nailed it to something in that specific area that is giving off RFI (radio frequency interference).

dang... my moms 2006 jeep grand cherokee has this.. lol. it eve tells you the psi on the spare. Ford FINALLY caught up!! lol

Yes Everyone. I have put a tire gauge on them to verify the low tire pressure.
The problem I having is the front passenger side tire. It's the one that always reports a low tire pressure. Now, this happens at various places along several different routes, so I don't believe it's RF interference problem.
There are times where I am putting air in every other day. and some times its every other week.
I have my suspicions that someone is letting the air out. No, The tire center check the tire, they tell me There good, no leaks.
Now, I shouldn't have to put a tire gauge on them every time I want to use the truck. Hence. why they put the sensors in the tires in the first place.
What I am looking for is some way to have the tires report to me all the tire information before I get out on the road, so I don't have to stop twenty or thirty miles later to put air in just because the light comes on.
And No. I don't plan on buying a new 2015 truck just to have the update tire information.
Thanks Guys

I have to admit ... I'm pretty amazed that our trucks don't already have this ... I mean, at LEAST have it indicate which tire is the one that's getting the low-pressure reading ... if not also displaying the actual tire pressure of ALL tires at any given time.

Vehicles have been doing this for a while now, and our trucks SHOULD be doing the same.

Buy a Kenwood receiver and install it with the iDatalink Maestro. Problem solved.
Cost $ more than a tire gauge though.
