Tires: pressure monitoring and regulating systems

Summary

During pre delivery inspection (pdi), 2017 f-super duty vehicles will exhibit an illuminated low tire pressure warning light and low tire pressure readouts in the message center (if equipped) from the factory. When inflating the tires to specification utilizing a digital tire pressure gauge, do not reference the pressure displayed in the message center for current tire pressure. Also, it is not necessary to train or activate sensors with the service tool during pdi. To correct the pressure readouts and clear the warning message, drive the vehicle for 2 miles or 2 minutes at over 32 kph (20 MPH) during the road test portion of the pdi worksheet. If the TPMS low tire pressure warning is still present or message center pressure readout is inaccurate after completing pdi, refer to the online workshop manual, section 204-04b for normal diagnostics.
