Air pressure is fine. 2014 STX, 16,500 miles.

I can guess the sensor inside the tire is either bad or fell off

Excerpted from the Ford Motorcraft TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM document ...
Q: Can other aftermarket devices affect the TPMS system?

A: Some aftermarket devices can cause radio frequency interference that will block the TPMS sensor signal causing an intermittent concern. This can cause the TPMS lamp to illuminate. Some of the more common items are: cell phone chargers, GPS power supplies, or any other aftermarket electronic device. Unplugging the aftermarket devices can help determine if they are the cause of an intermittent concern.

Thanks. The GPS I had hooked up is the same one I've run for the past 3 years and never had an issue in the 2010 F150 previous to this '14.

I did wire in an additional accessory outlet behind the dash this weekend and hooked the GPS up to that. Would the additional outlet have done it?
