For the past two mornings, when I started my '05 XLT (6 cyl) the message "Check Tire Pressure" came up in the message/info center as well as the low tire warning symbol displayed on the instrument cluster. I immediately checked my tires and the pressure was 32 psi on all of them. I hit the 'reset' button on the message/info center system and proceeded to drive away and a few miles later the low tire warning symbol on the instrument cluster went off and the "Check Tire Pressure" message did not come back.
Since my tires were all fine, what caused the warnings to display?
The only thing I can think of which caused these warnings to come on was the fact that it has been abnormally cold in the morning...mid 20's, and that was somehow affecting the sensors.
Does anyone know how the "Check Tire Pressure" system works? Are there special valve stems installed? Are there sensors that sense when the vehicle is not level?
