Question on new Ford E-450

Tire low
With no clue as to pressure or temp or which tire?
Mine is just a dash light.

Mine does display actual numerical pressure on each individual tire. However, it does NOT provide temperature information at all.

My 2021 E-450 chassis dash looks nothing like this, but does convey the same information.

Interesting. Is it a 2021 coach on a 2020 chassis that looks like this?

I do indeed have a 2021 chassis as the Ford VIN decodes as 2021. It is very similar to, but not precisely identical to your picture. Is your picture of a 2021 chassis?

No, it’s a 2017. Only one I had. Was my Freedom Elite 26HE.

Here is my opinion. Opinions are like a posterior orifice, everyone has one.

Knowing the temperature of a tire is not as important as knowing the PSI. In most cases the temperature is going to be elevated because the air pressure is low resulting in a larger contact surface with the road. That increased friction is what elevated the temperature of the tire. You should inflate the tire before the temperature elevates. In a rare situation a bad wheel bearing could lead to increased temperature of the wheel but by the time the wheel temperature increases the bearing and axle are toast. Most tire pressure monitors that give a temperature reading are aftermarket sensors on the valve stem. What they most often show you is the increased temperature caused by the sun shinning on that side of the vehicle.

That is very interesting. My first thought was that perhaps the display can be changed by the driver, and that was difference. However, the tachometer “seems” to not be part of a display screen, and it is rotated differently on a couple of different motorhomes.

Does yours look more like this?

Difference could also be due to different trim levels or optional packages. As I mentioned above, TPMS is part of “Motorhome” package, but there are other packages that may affect dash details. First picture I posted was from Ford 2022 Website.

Regarding the first picture, yes! Going from memory (RV is in the shop at the moment) I'd say its identical. The second picture there is a very slight difference at the right side of the dash.

Bob, I just bought a 2021 Thor Quantum LH26 Class C on the E450 and yes it did come with the tire pressure monitoring.

Thanks for your reply.

I have a 2021 Quantum JM31. It does have a tire monitoring system. Let me know if you have any more questions. I've got 6000 miles on it now and am currently heading down the Pacific Coast Highway. Congratulations btw!

Thanks Mr Beaumont, we will keep that in mind. Sure glad you are going down the Pacific Coast Highway now and are not back in Texas where so many are having a tuff time this winter. Any questions I have may have to wait until later. We ordered the JM31 on Jan 23 and the dealer notified us on Jan 30 that it may not be in until June. The documentation they sent us says it will be a 2022 Quantum JM31 built on a 2021 E-450. Would be nice to get the 2022 E-450 but know they are going to use their stock of 2021 chassis before building on the new one.

Grave-digging somewhat on here, the 2022 Ford E-450 owner manual outlines the procedure for resetting the TPMS following tire rotation, replacement, etc. for a single rear wheel chassis, but not a dually. I wonder if it’s any different.

[Bobdees]

I had EEZ Tire on my Class C but the weight of the sensor snapped my metal extension. I have since gone to internal sensors that appear much safer. Unfortunately they do not have a temperature sensor but, I think they are still safer than the EEZ Tire.

Hello,
How do I get to this display. I can’t seem to find it anywhere on the dash.

And what Year/Make/Model RV do you have?

We have a 2023 Thor KW29 on the E-450 chassis. Finding the TPMS was a PITA! The owner's manual is almost useless. It says it may, or may not be installed, but not how to navigate the menu to it.


Hope this helps, look for this menu screen.





Once you find the driver assist menu option, select it.





And yes, most of my tires were low from the dealer after their "safety" inspection for delivery to the customer.

The current F series steering wheel button pods appeared in 2017. It looks like Ford finally consolidated parts bins for both E-Series and F-Series steering wheels and dash instrument displays starting with 2021 MY... the introduction of the V-8 on the cutaway and F-53 chassis.

Notice that some Ford motorhomes have the 5-button pods on both sides, while on others (likely base models) they're only on the left. I believe the additional right side buttons are audio system controls.

Better late than never, here's how we access the TPMS screen in our 2022 FW 31W (E-450 basic package). Using the left side steering wheel controls, select Main Menu -> Driver Assist -> Maint. Monitor. Here's visual guides:
