    Ford Focus tyre pressure warning

    I know there are a lot of smart people here but can anyone shed any light on how to reset the tyre pressure indicator warning light.
    My auto sparkie ran the codes off the computer which says it’s all 4 wheels that are faulting,
    Does it have to go back to the ford dealer?

    270 is a harmonic divisor number[1]
    270 is the fourth number that is divisible by its average integer divisor[2]
    270 is a practical number, by the second definition
    The sum of the coprime counts for the first 29 integers is 270
    270 is a sparsely totient number, the largest integer with 72 as its totient
    Given 6 elements, there are 270 square permutations[3]
    10! has 270 divisors
    270 is the smallest positive integer that has divisors ending by digits 1, 2, …, 9.

    My car doesn’t have those same functions from the dash, I will keep searching on google, but thought someone here may have come across this before

    Can your electrician not clear the codes via the OBDII port?

    Usually the tire pressure monitoring is done via the ABS sensors. After balancing the tire inflation, you reset the ABS sensors (which essentially locks in the ABS sensor pulse rate for the rolling circumference of the tire based on its inflated diameter - smaller dia, causes faster pulses, which is effectively what happens with a partially deflated tire). If the computer sees a change in the pulse rates, it will raise and alarm.
    Seems a bit strange that all four wheels would be faulting???

    Do you have an ABS warning light up?
    Do you have the OBDII fault codes?

    What happened to the old roll up to the gas station and pump them up via a gauge ;
    All this computer controlled crap is just that in a lot of cases .

    The auto sparkie couldn’t clear the code and didn’t really have much of a clue, I have a few ideas from a google search to try on Saturday and will see how it goes, the fault light doesn’t bother me but it failed a warrant because of it.

    They are failing some arcane shite at the moment. Cracked top hat - that was about a 0.5mm long crack. Loose tow bar mounting hardwear, after I watched the medium size Indian bouncing on the t-handle feet off ground to move the bolt about 2deg around... I wouldn't call that loose myself but hey. He wanted full removal inspection and refastening of all bolts, checking for corrosion and bolt failure (i.e. replace bolts). I asked him if he had the WOF checksheet or I was getting a cheap COF - retorque all towbar mounting hardware it is then.
