Tire Pressure Sensor Failure

[DrMJ]

I have a 2021 Mach-E Premium. Today, I was driving and I got a warning message on the screen showing that there was a Tire Pressure Sensor failure. I displayed the tire pressure and the front tires were reading 41 PSI and the rear two tires were showing up as - - which I guess indicates that the tire pressure from the rear two tires is not being sent to the car. I checked both of the rear tires and they are both inflated just like the front two tires. I can press the OK button and the message goes away but the small Tire Pressure icon stays illuminated.
What options do I have here? Has anyone else experienced this and how did you resolve it-E

Take it to the dealer - this is a warranty fix.
Or take it to your local tire shop you trust way more and pay way more for new sensors and a remount/balance.
Seems straight forward.

Thanks! I will take it to my dealer but leave my camera running…. When I took it in for my first service - I had just had the car ceramic coated. It came back with a 3 inch scratch on the hood right up against the windshield. It was not a place where a scratch would easily get on the car and looked deliberate. I was just sick, I had paid over $1,500.00 to have it professionally coated and there was not a single scratch on the car when I took it to the dealer.
There’s only one guy at the dealership trained on the Mach-E. A lot of dealers look at you when you take it in like you just flew in from the Andromeda Galaxy!

I just had my 10,000 mile service performed and I also left my dash cams on while it was in there - the comments about the car were pretty funny; on the flipside though it does give them something to talk about in the shop. Nothing malicious they just found my custom license plate and my vinyl wrap to be let’s say interesting ??

Found a nail puncture on right rear tire three days ago. Ford app shown it's 33 psi a digital pressure gauge confirmed its 33. Spayed water to the nail tip on tire, bubbles came out slowly. 33 is 18% drop from a supposed 39 but there was no TPMS warning the whole time. I wonder what the trigger threshold is to turn on the warning.

-25% loss, so about 29 psi
