Thanks for the reply, just giving an opinion on what it might be, bearing in mind I have worked in ford garages for donkeys yearsHorseshit, a refurbishment will cure the leak.
Ford's are the worst offenders. I get probably 2 or 3 Ford punters a week in, with this problem. It's nearly always a corrosion issue.Thanks for the reply, just giving an opinion on what it might be, bearing in mind I have worked in ford garages for donkeys years
I have a a Focus and worried I might have to take it to Ford for the TPMS system itself and get fleeced. I had it at Halfords yesterday and they ran the diagnostics tool and said all of the sensors are working fine and I just needed to reset the system. I've done that myself loads of times but they didn't have anything further to add to that. At least I wasn't charged by them. No tyres have lost any pressure and I just had two replaced and a rotation a month ago. Any advice what to try next?Ford's are the worst offenders.

Yeah it comes on when I start the car, saying tyre pressure sensor not detected. Flashes the orange light for about a minute and then solid orange light.Are you seeing anything on the dash display?

Also, at least one is working because it warned me when I had a flat tyre which is why I changed the pair.
Cheers. I took all of the cables out of the vehicle, drove for a few miles, reset the tyre pressures, but unfortunately the warning came back after 7 miles.
It might be the control unit? Not sure.Cheers. I took all of the cables out of the vehicle, drove for a few miles, reset the tyre pressures, but unfortunately the warning came back after 7 miles.
Just double checked and the MOT is due on 4th January and not 4th February as i originally thought. Typical.
Forgot to report back. Halfords diagnostics missed not one, but two faulty sensors. Useless! Thanks for your advice though.It might be the control unit? Not sure.

I wouldn't usually except for very simple things but needs required it due to my 'always a day late' lifestyle. But even then this is supposed to be their bread and butter work.Sums Halfords up
