How did the Tow truck driver disable my Ford App location?

I'm sure it does to some degree.

But the TPMS is supposed to turn off after a while when wheel stops spinning, to conserve battery in sensor.
Since I have received an alert later - I can't recall now if it was say within 30 min of parking.

So there's a relay to turn off a radio during the upwards of 75 min going to sleep time.
And a place for a bug to happen and not turn off the receiver, even though the sensors did turn off at whatever time.

Yes the tpms goes to sleep after a time (I think the "let air out of tire" programming procedure states completion in 20 minutes of truck being moved). But since truck can be remote started with the app perhaps the request through the app responds with whatever is asked for with the lastest data however aged it might be. Would be nice if response was time stamped when data was recorded. Or even "Hey D A you are wasting 12v juice".

That would be good.
Just thinking of the posts where ones commented they looked at what they thought was their morning tire pressure remotely - and saw the warning about being low.

Well, no - that was last nights tire pressure, probably got the warning then - probably could have taken care of low tire then instead of a rushed morning with it.

20 min good to know, gotta remember that.
