The sensors physically measure the tire pressure in each tire and report it to the vehicle's instrument cluster or a corresponding monitor. Some units also measure and alert temperatures of the tire as well. These systems can identify under-inflation in any combination, be it one tire or all, simultaneously.
Otherwise, the tire pressure monitor system is probably not active, making it unable to be retrained. Preparing the Vehicle. To reset the tire pressure monitor, the Escape built-in tire pressure monitoring system needs to to relearn the pressure of each wheel. For cars that use iTPMS, the reset can take 20 to 60 minutes. To do this with a dTPMS like the Escape, doing this requires informing the vehicles that it needs to relearn the tire pressure monitoring system by using a code programed into the vehicle.
