What does it mean when the tire pressure sensor is not detected on a Ford Fiesta?

Model: Ford Fiesta MK 7, MK VII, Fiesta 7 - Years 2017-2023
Part:

In this video we see what the message "tire sensor not detected" on a Ford Fiesta can mean. The TPMS of our car is not receiving the signal from one of the wheels. Therefore, it does not show the pressure, indicating the error. The main cause is the depleted sensor battery. This battery lasts from 5 to 10 years and when it runs out, the sensor stops working; another cause may be a sensor damaged by an impact against a curb, for example. If it has been recently replaced, if the recalibration procedure has not been carried out, it will not work correctly. In rare cases, even strong interference can temporarily disrupt the signal. It is essential to consult a tire specialist: the sensor battery cannot be replaced, so it is necessary to change the entire device, an operation that can only be carried out with the appropriate equipment. It is also advisable to consult a professional for recalibration.
