Tire Sensor Fault

[ShelbyvilleGT500]

Im new to this gen of Mustang. What can I do about sporadic "tire sensor fault " light? Thanks in advance.

Seems stupid to ask, but have you checked your tire pressures? Especially this time of year the temperature changes can drop the pressure in the tires just enough to set off the light.

Also, what year is your car? Maybe one or more of the sensors' batteries is failing.

car is 2008, pressures are good. Light goes on and off and says its a "fault" not low. I will try and check each sensor and see if I can determine which one is flaking out. Thanks for the reply.

I would try re-syncing all four sensors before doing anything else. If you don't have a TPMS sensor sync tool, your local tire shop may be able to assist you. Or you can order one from American Muscle: http://www.americanmuscle.com/0509-tpms-sensors.html

Ok thanks I'll see if my local tire dealer will sync it.

Noticing that your car is a 2008 (9 years old), have you ever changed the tire sensors as they are most likely lithium battery operated. You may have a sensor going dead. That could be the problem.
If so, change all the sensors.

I just bought the car last month so they are probably original. New sensors was a thought. Just seeing what others experience was first. Thx

I replace my 08 sensors with the valve stem type from AM and have had no problems.

I replaced mine last year since the tires were off the wheel rim.
