Hi All
My ford fiesta showing warning sign to check tyre pressure and i have checked and filled the tyres appropriately, but it still says check tyre pressure and the amber sign is still on. any ideas and advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Do you need to reset/recalibrate the system after you change pressure?


I do in my BMW and I have to drive a mile or two for it to gauge itself.


A quick check in the manual should give you the procedure.

Check the manual. Some cars need it to be reset manually. Others require you to drive for a mile or two.

Probably needs reseting

Both my last car and current one have needed resetting when on their new pressure so this is the most likely solution.

As others have said RTFM

The chances are that you need to reset the TPMS, which you probably should be doing everytime you adjust your tyre pressures.

thanks for all the reply. will check my manual and try resetting and see what happens.

It is a manual reset for the Fiesta. I've had to do it twice, once when I had new tyres fitted and once when the warning was displayed when driving on the motorway, although fortunately in the second case it was fake news and the pressures were actually fine.

Ok, here is the correct no nonsense info from a decent Northern UK DIY engineer. No special tools needed. Go into your menu and find the tyre pressure monitoring and do as it says to reset. (That is for a 17 reg Ford St Line) :-)

I'm sure they'll have figured it in the last two and a half years...

If only the OP had known that 2 and a half years ago.
