LOW TIRE PRESSURE "WARNING"

You need to drive for a while before it goes.a few miles.

 

From the owners manual of a 2011:

 

After inflating your tires to the manufacturers recommended inflation pressure as shown on the Tire Label (located on the edge of drivers door or the B-Pillar), the vehicle must be driven for at least two minutes over 20mph (32km/h) before the light will turn off.

I did that,

I drove about 10km since the light suddenly turned ON.

and another 10km in the afternoon, while going on lunch, then again 10km going back office.

but nothing happened....

 

I was wondering if one of the tire has small leakage and that could be the reason ?????

First time I had installed some new wheels with the old sensors put in, the TPMS light on the dash came on. I drove about 10 miles but the light never went out. This was all city driving, with no speeds over about 30-40 MPH or so. I got onto a freeway and hit 60 MPH. Within 1 minute the light went out.

 

Perhaps you need to make sure you have gone over 60 MPH?

Yep. Still not sure why they don't do that since they have the info.

 

Does the system have that info though? I know some systems can determine it, while others are "dumb" and just get a blanket reading from all the sensors without distinguishing between which is which. At the very least, it would be a nice added feature to put on the MKX.

Yes - according to Ford engineers. They've simply chosen not to display it.
