Anyone else have the pressure in one/two wheels, or one side of the car, higher than the other wheels/other side?

For me, the front left tire is always higher (when hot, when pressure increases while driving) than the other three. Next one is Rear Left, and then the two on the passenger's side - they are always equal and identical.
Front Left shows 37, Rear Left shows 36, both wheels on the right side show 35 or 36 after driving a while.
But the front left is always higher than the others.

Anyone else has this issue?

It is probably almost impossible to get all tires to be the same. Currently my front left is less than the other three. Per FordPass app, when I checked early this morning, it said 43 LF, 45 on other three. Just refreshed the app and have not moved it today at all, now 44 LF, 45 LR, 46 RF/RR. The right side is facing South, but it's been a little cloudy most of today. When I've checked when driving and they're warmed up, they are never the same. I probably should add 1-2lb in that front left.

Hello SBI,
One reason temps might very could be caused by a locked or partially locked caliper . I always check all rim temps with a digital thermometer when starting out esp. after any storage. Also I check lug nuts. This habit has saved me a lot of grief thru the years.(caliper on one of my busses was especially prone to sticking)
Regards, Ed

You can adjust the pressure if necessary. There is a little valve attached to the wheel, you can add or remove air via the valve.

Thanks Ed.

It is 1-2 degrees difference, no a major gap, so I believe it's not a caliper issue (I hope not, brand new truck with $1400 miles on it ?, there should not be a locked caliper).

I wouldn't worry if its off by few PSI after you drive it to heat the tires up.
You will drive yourself nuts getting them to match every time you drive.

Ok, I think this confirms without a doubt that this is bot!! Which is so disappointing.

I do not think it's a BOT. Based on my experience I think I can tell you how this will go for you if you provide a PM. After you provide your VIN and Dealership info, you will be put in contact with a customer experience specialist that will ask you something like when did you 1st experience the issue. Then recommend that you talk with your local dealership service advisor technician to see if other customers are having the same issue.

Ambient air temperature change all day long and that impacts the TPMS reading. Just having sun on one side of the car can cause different PSI. If the temperature drops 30 degrees, your tire pressure may go down several PSI and the reverse is true when temperature goes up. The TPMS is great for a heads up. Always use a tire pressure gauge (not TPMS) for adjusting the tire pressure.

So may as well be a BOT huh? I have yet to see a post that showed any real value or feedback stating it has helped in any way. I hope I'm wrong but... :)
