Wondering if anyone with 2016 or later F250 has experienced the Tire Pressure Fault Sensor message and what did you do about it. Between 27 & 32 miles of continuous driving this message will come on. I have been to numerous tire dealerships to have it checked out. They scan each tire and say all sensors are working ( of course when I arrive and either idle or turn off vehicle, the message clears ). Yesterday Discount Tire tech did a hard reset hoping this would work. It didn’t. Have been dealing with this issue since August of last year. In desperation today I had all 4 sensors replace. Cost $259.00. Haven’t driven past 5 miles yet so not sure if my problem is fixed. Any thoughts.

Did you check with the dealer? Could be a programing issue with the computer. I have had multiple computer related issues with my 2018 F150 and my wife's 2019 Edge. Ranging from transmission shifting to the radio... There were service bulletins on all of them and would have been covered even if past warranty I believe.

Next was it going in to 4wheel drive on dry pavement or not in muddy,
Zero mechanical issues but a bad cpu , all covered under TSB

My 2014 F150 did it randomly also, then I wore out my tires and got new ones. I have a couple of thousand on them and it hasn't done it since, I think it had something to do with the tires. It also used to randomly show low oil pressure, but only when going down one particular Hill at the deer lease. It's a Ford and I ignore it.

I have a 2010 F150 and chased that same problem for the last 7 months.... Whenever light would come on, I'd stop and find all is well. Or I would keep driving and it would go off after ~30mi or so. It went off before any of my 4 Discount Tire visits and they couldn't tell which one it was...
FINALLY week before last it came on, I immediately brought it to Discount Tire again and kept the engine running...completely expected it to go out any second, but the light stayed on and they found one sensor was dead. Replaced it and have since rolled nearly 1000mi with no issues.

No never thought of checking spare tire. Anyway I went ahead and bought 4 sensors from Discount. Drove 255 miles today and fault message never came on. I’m sure it was probably one bad sensor, but like Swamp Rat said they always checked out ok when scanned. Sure hope it was one of the sensors on the ground and not the spare tire.
