- 2016 Ford Explorer XLT
(I've only had the (2016 XLT) Explorer a couple of months.) Just driving around the tire pressure sensor fault light came on, and the little lit-up icon of a tire tread. It came on, then was gone for a few days. Now it's back. I got the Explorer from a friend, and he had all the tire pressure sensors either checked or replaced. Unfortunately, he lives in another state and having his mechanic look at it is not feasible. Plus, I don't really feel like bothering my friend about it. He gave me as sweetheart deal on this and it's mine now. So I researched it and it means either the sensor is malfunctioning and or one of the tires is low.
Questions:
1) Can I just keep the tire pressure at the correct levels manually and ignore the warning?
2) How much does it usually cost to repair such an issue?
A couple of slightly different questions:
3) Exploring through all the arrows and displays on the steering wheel I once came across something that showed all four of the tires' pressures. How can I access that again?
4) Again on the steering wheel controls, I once got the fuel gauge and the engine temperature gauge on the display simultaneously and have been unable to get to that combination again. Anyone know how can access it?
Thanks
