That means that the tire pressure monitor has detected a pressure difference in in one of your tires...Inside each of your tires there is a monitor attached to the valve stem that sends a signal to an on board computer.....make sure that the pressure is correct in your tires, as listed on the sticker...usually located on the driver door or body of the car....check your owners manual as to the procedure to re set the monitor...

It's a sensor that goes off when your tire pressure is too low or too high. Check the air pressure.

TIRE MON (Tire Inflation Monitor Reset)
This feature allows you to reset the tire pressure monitor after checking all tire pressures. To clear the LOW TIRE PRESSURE light from the instrument panel cluster and reset the low tire pressure monitor do the following:

1. Scroll, using the SEEK/PSCAN up or down arrows, until TIRE MON appears on the display.
2. Press the PREV or NEXT button to enter the submenu. RESET will be displayed.
3. Press the TUNE/DISP button to reset. A chime will be heard to verify the new setting and DONE will be displayed for one second.

The low tire pressure monitor is now reset.

The words tire reset keep on popping up on my dashboard. What does that mean, and how do I get rid of it? 2004 Ford Freestar.

With and without "Mesage Center" respectively (pretty sure)

With the engine on...

Push "Setup" button, until your driver display says something like "Press Reset for system check".

Then push Reset. The system check will start, rotating through a series of checks.

About the fifth or sixth check will be the tire pressure. The system will sound the tone (same one that starts w/the light) and It'll say something like "Check Tires Pressure" on that moment press and hold for 3 or 4 seconds Reset. When you release the Reset button It'll show "Hold Reset if tires are OK". While that's up, hold the Reset button. After 3 or 4 seconds, the tire warning light will blink 2 or 3 times and then will stop .You need to be ready for it, because you don't get very long to release.

How to reset the low tire pressure warning if the vehicle does not have the "Message Center"

Turn the ignition to the ON position,
depress and Trip/odometer button (located in the instrument cluster) until "TIRE RESET" or "CHECK TIRE AND RESET" is displayed in the odometer display window.
Once "TIRE RESET" or "CHECK TIRE AND RESET" is displayed, press and hold the button for three seconds.
The low tire warning indicator light will flash three times as the low tire warning system begins to initialize.

This information is in the Owners Manual

Hope it helps

My Ford Freestar Minivan is reading RESET TIRE where the milage should show. What do I do?

I believe that one of your tires is low on air causing the pressure monitor to kick in. Check all your tires to make sure the inflated to the proper PSI which will be located on one of the door jambs

Change engine il and tire pressure message how do i rest

Must have codes for check engine light cleared with scan tool. Check all tire pressures and road test up to 35 mph. Tire message should clear if low tire was problem. If light for tires remains then possible radio frequency sensor problem. Sensor replacement may be necessary. Sensors have alkaline non-serviceable batteries. If battery is dead sensor will have to be replaced.

My '05 LeSabre warning light for check tire pressure came on. I checked all 4 tires and they each have 32# of pressure. How do I reset the monitor? No manual in the car. Thanks

make sure your spare is up to 32#'s pressure also , unless its one of the donut tires, turn ignition switch to on with engine off , press and hold GUAGE INFO button which is located to the left of the sterring column until TIRE PRESSURE messgage is displayed , press and hold RESET BUTTON for 5 seconds , TIRE PRESSURE RESET message should appear on display , release RESET button, a TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL message should appear on the display , after ressetting the Tire Pressure Monitor system it requires 30 minutes of straight driving to complete calibration process .
