#1 of 3 Pesky Tire Pressure Sensors - Explorers by dave1309 Nov 24, 2008 (10:44 am)
Has anyone experienced any problems with tire pressure sensors on Ford Explorers?   Have a 2006 Explorer and just perfomed the "get ready for winter" routine including checking tire pressure. All tires show the same pressure outlined in the manual. When the temp dips below 32, car sitting overnight, the check tire pressure light comes on and stays lit until the vehicle is driven 15+ miles and the tires warm up. I know it's the cold weather combined with cold air volume in the tires but the pressure is right on the numbers when cold. It's only a slight annoyance in the winter but just wondered if anyone else had this minor glitch. Replies to this message: wubby1963 (Dec 05, 2008 5:06 pm)

Replying to: dave1309 (Nov 24, 2008 10:44 am) I also experienced this as well, I live in Iowa my Explorer is a 2004 and its always lit up for just a bit until its warmed up and driven abit, and only has done it since its been cold along with snow on my reversal sensors caused them to go off and as soon as I wiped away the snow it quit.   Suzie

Had a strange thing happen the other day. Had new tires put on the Explorer and when they took off the right rear tire the pressure sensor and the band it attached with fell out on the floor. The Ford technician looked at it and said that was the first time he had ever seen one come off. He also remarked that it looked like it had been bouncing around in the tire for a while. The dealership replaced it at no charge (they had to order the part). All the time it was being tossed all over he** inside the tire it continued to work and monitor the pressure. Guess I have to give Ford kudos for a tough little piece of equipment........
