No Tire Pressure Readout?

[Lewisra]

Whats worse is you have to program each wheel to its position, .

Why is that?

Tire Pressure Monitor

How do I tell or find where my info would be shown?

Its a 2014 and I can't believe my ford explorer limited awd doesn't tell me my tire pressures??

We have the alert showing but can't really tell which tire is the problem... unless we do it manually. Not complaining but dang,for the price it seems kinda odd.

TIA

..it doesnt do that...:thumbdwn:
also it happened to me and it was like 8/10lbs low when the alert came on, which is a lot, so check all and top off right away.

Geez.... Well, ok then... Thank you. Wonder who left that out of the design?

Oh well... back to carrying the stupid manual in the glove box again lol.

Thanks again !

Ours went off when none of the tires was lower than 27 PSI so yeah, only 8 PSI off the 35 PSI on the door sticker.

As per my PM, I have merged your thread with this existing one.

On some vehicles that don't display the reading, you can still check it if you have a $20 bluetooth module and the Torque app for android. Haven't tried this yet on the explorer, but next time I have the tablet out in the garage, I'll check.

Of course, a tire gauge works well, since if one tire is off, its probably about time to air up all the others too.

The dealer can set at which PSI the low tire pressure sense comes on at.

Usually the TPMS warning will come on when a tire is 25% or more below the recommended tire pressure. 35psi - 25% = 26.25psi.

I agree a full display would be 'nice to have' but I don't see it as a necessary item. I've managed to survive 50+ years of driving without it. The Highlander I had previously had the same TPMS type as the Ex. I only received a warning once and after parking and doing a walk around, it was obvious which tire was the problem. Besides that, I also always carry a tire pressure gauge in the vehicle.

It used to be I couldn't get to the end of my driveway without checking tire pressure, and then every 2-3 miles us old timers would have to get out and manually check the pressure. Draconian, I know.

Now, instead of worrying about my tire pressure, I can take my eyes off the road to push a button or two and then read a display that will ensure my safety.

Brilliant.

When mine went off it was in frigid temps at night.
It was -3 outside, bitter wind and old snow/ice covering everything.
(...of course)

If somewhere it could have displayed what tire, it would have saved me
a world of aggravation and sitting in the car after, warming my hands for 10 minutes because they hurt so bad, even with gloves.
