Well, I just got back from my buisness trip and no fault light came on the whole way up and back from the airport (about 160 miles round trip), so I'm thinking its some RF interference from the DVD player we were using on the trip, although I don't know how it would cause it. Do remote controls transmit even if they are not being used?? The remote for the DVD system was sitting in one of the rear cup holders on the center console. What about radiated EMI from the physical player and screen? (its a self contained screen/DVD player that straps on the headrests, and a second screen is connected via wire to the "master" unit) Thanks for the replies so far...

I did but not right before my trip. I rotated the tires for the first time about two weeks before hand while I was changing the oil. How would that make a difference as the TPMS sensors aren't directional AFAIK.. As of today driving it to work, sans the DVD player, the light hasn't come on again. I'm making a semi-long trip to the airport this afternoon to go on buisness travel, so we'll se how it goes. If it comes on again I'll take it to the dealer.

Well not really. You can look up TSB's and just get the titles but the 09s are still not available to purchase a subscription with. Kind of annoying

Just got back from a little trip (about 350-400 miles round trip) with the family to go see my grandmother. Sporadically throughout the trip the "Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor Fault" message would come up in the display and the light would flash in the dash then stay on solid. The tires don't really look low, that and I would think that the message center would say something else if the air pressure is low. I checked the air pressure at some gas station and they are around 32-35 psi. What's weird is we just got a DVD player that straps onto the headrest for my (almost) 2 yr old son to watch his Elmo movies while we drive. Its not wireless, it simply plugs into the Aux power outlet. It does have a remote control, though. I heard on other forums that the TPMS system is wireless and transmits via radio frequency to the controller. Could there be some RF interference going on with the DVD player? Like I said the only wireless thing is the remote which we didn't really use. I checked All Data and there aren't any TSB's related to the TPMS. Vehicle just rolled over 6000 miles. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

It was a toss up between the Explorer and Escape. I have 2 dogs so I needed an SUV to haul them around when need be. The Escape offered the gas mileage I wanted from a car with the utility of an SUV. That and it looked good to me, and the Chevy Equinox was too ugly. Absolutly love it. Its like a little hot rod with that 240 hp V6 and 6 spd...
