Little trick you can do if you have aftermarket wheels on your Maverick but no tpms sensors.
I have no sensors in my aftermarket wheels so normally you would get a tpms fault. Since my original wheels and tires with sensors are stored in the garage with the truck the sensors are recognized when I leave for work in the morning and then again when I get home at night. The light does not come on at all anymore. I only drive about 12 miles each way to work so I am not sure if this factors into this equation as well. I wonder if I drove a longer distance the computer might figure out I have no sensors but for now with my short daily drives it stays off every day.
I parked my truck in a different part of my property for a few days last week. This was a spot that was not close to my garage so the truck could not recognize the sensors and the tpms light started coming on everyday. Once I started parking in the garage again the light went out and the fault was gone again. The pressure shown on the dash and ford pass app is actually the pressure in the wheels sitting in my garage. I am not worried about what my tires on the truck actually have since I keep a good eye on them.
Now I want to try this trick with my other vehicles once I put the snows on them this coming winter.
