I have a 2008 Ford Escape and live in South Texas where the weather goes through extreme levels. Which means my tire pressure fluctuates quite often. However in the 2008 Ford Escape it has an annoying sensor that goes off every two minutes while I am in a car.

A good friend of mine who was a Ford mechanic in training showed me how to press the buttons on the dash to reset the tire pressure sensor. He hasn't worked for Ford in awhile and does no remember how to reset it now.

I just want to see if anyone here knows and wouldn't mind helping me out. I really don't want to go and pay someone at the Ford dealership to do it.

p.s. The tire pressure switch can not be reset with a magnet, there IS a way of doing it by the buttons on the dash.

If the tires are inflated to the proper cold temp the sensor should never go off. It is only there to indicate a low air pressure condition, not overinflation. Inflate the tires to the proper pressure when the tires are cold. No more problem. If you are doing this, then there is a problem with the system, which should be still covered under warranty. So take it back to the dealer.
