Hello all,

I was advised to join this site as I was informed it would be full of experts on the Ranger.
I am from Wales in the United Kingdom and have recently purchased a Pride Orange Wildtrack (full details in my sig)

I am pleased to have located this forum and look forward to reading through many topics which have many answers to the questions I have
in my head ;-)

My first problem is poor TPMS hardware, having had all the sensors replaced under warranty and within a 1000 miles of daily driving the alarm is activated daily and clears itself during the same journey....despite nothing wrong with my vehicles tyres (I do check!)

Any advise will be gratefully appreciated.

Regards,

Richard

Try resetting it with the car stopped.

It happened to me when I first got it and was resetting while moving but was told to stop and reset and has worked perfectly since.

If there are definitely sensors in the tyres then you are getting interference from another device in the vehicle. Could be a dash cam, another additional add on etc. What non factory accessories have you installed?

Totally agree with what Stewart suggests. I went through all sorts to fix mine, which was doing the same as yours. It turned out to be the clip-on rear view screen emitting rf interference affecting the TPMS signals.
