Was installing the Ford GT start button, after install, re-connected battery and now I get the infamous Tire Pressure Monitor Failure message. Could disconnecting the battery cause this????

 

Maybe.
If your tires are at the correct pressure, drive for a few miles on the street and it should reset.

 

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll do that....

 

The sensors go into a sleep mode, and as mentioned, need to be drivin 20mph+ to wake them up.

We will be waiting for results

 

nice to know that one

 

I got the same message after disconnecting my battery to install a raptor shift light. After a few miles of driving it went away.

 

Yup, went away! Thanks all for the comments

 

So it did work for you.

 

Sure did, although it didn't even take a full mile at about 30 MPH. AFter my trip, I shut her down, then wnet back out about an hour later and started it up again (wanted to push the button once more too) just to be sure and no messages

Thanks again to everyone for the replies...

 

This old post just saved me!

Replaced the factory battery and got the TPMS fault.

After the salt clears I will take the Bullitt for a spin and clear that fault.

Love this site.

 

Glad i read this good to know.

 

This old thread helped me yesterday. Thanks.

Isn't the Internet incredible!

 

When was the first year that TPS became available ? As my 2006 GT does not have it as far as I know

 

2007, as much as I like to change wheels, if I would have thought more about it I would have bought an 06. Mine was an early production 07.

 

I see exactly where your coming from and if you end up changing wheels then it seems that TPS isn't really worth having anyhow !

 

IMO it's not worth having, adds to the cost of changing wheels. I am old and have been driving a long time. Maybe I have been lucky but so far no need for TPMS.

 

I agree whole heartedly and I ain't even old yet ...
... I have a few years to go to reach that stage.

I do think it's a great "option" that should have been set up with a "disable / enable" feature
to be set as the owner desired. Our Mustang and our FX4 both have it.

 

After replacing the battery for the first time in my 2009 CS, the tire pressure monitor system fault display came up. With a quick google search I found the easy solution (which is just to drive it a little) from The Mustang Source. I know this is an old thread, however, any time I google information on my Mustang, this site comes up every time. I love it!! Cheers to all that post solutions to any questions folks have with their Mustangs.

 

I changed the battery in my '13 earlier this week and never got an error message. If I ever do, I'll have to remember to drive it.
