Tire pressures on dash display.

[conductor]

I've had this truck for 4 years now and I used to be able to display what the tire pressures were on the dash by going through the display buttons on the steering wheel. Now I can't find it anywhere on there it doesn't seem to be able to display it can show what you want the tire pressure to be in whether it's pounds or bars or whatever but could somebody please tell me the steps to get to to get it to work.

I believe it's under Driver Assist / Tire Pressure using the left hand button.

It will show what they are, it does NOT what you want them to be.

With Forscan - yes the Placard Display- Tire Pressure can be added to the screen.
I have mine set to display it.

I set up my display on my XLT to show tire pressure a couple of years ago, and it worked fine until about 6 months ago. I set up psi in the settings, but the display now defaults to power distribution, which doesn’t tell me anything. Anyone else having this issue?

Doesn't using the left steering wheel up/down arrow switches cycle through various information displays until you get to the tire pressure display?

Before, when I went through the settings options I would select psi (and the dot would be beside the psi), but now after hitting OK nothing happens; the dot-selected psi remains on the screen, and eventually that disappears and the the power distribution appears (and doesn’t display any pertinent data).

Ok, now I understand- do a IPC and BCM self test - this should reset the locked up screen display.

Actually that screen is just a selection of PSI or KPA.
The TPMS actual pressure display is another screen

Yes - this is how to view it - on a Lariat, other trims may have it located somewhere else, but same switches to get to it

What the hell is power distribution for ?

Driver assist is what fools me.

Agreed, “Truck info” seems more intuitive but for my 23’ XLT tremor “Truck info” shows power distribution, the steering angle, and the pitch/lean or whatever it’s called…seems like a better spot to put the tire pressure as well..

also someone asked what is power distribution for.. well I suppose off-roading it could help you see which wheels a doing the work to help get a feel for what your truck is doing with its feets. But idk for sure what the actual purpose behind it is.. the one that shows degrees of angle can help you not get close to rolling… but if you’re getting that sketchy chance is if you get that far you should probably be ready to well you know?..
sounds like tire pressure has been found…

it would be nice to petition/complain/suggest to ford to change the coding and put the tire pressure readings in the truck info menu as it seems fitting to be there (and oil life.) rather than driver assist like lane keeping, pre collision, etc. small detail but it would be a welcomed change in my opinion.
