It may be coincidental but after a update of my 2022 F-150 the TPMS would only display the PSI for the first tire in the sequence and not for the other 3 wheels. Training the sensors entails setting the right front tire first and then going around the truck clockwise for the remaining sensors.

If it was a bad sensor I would not all of a sudden have no readings for 3 sensors. There is some level of communication taking place as I do get the PSI for the right front tire. I would suspect a coding problem that results in the first tire reading being recovered and the program not continuing for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tire on the truck.

There is a TSB regarding RF interferance for the radio transceiver module (RTM) and the fix is to attach a ferrite bead to eliminate the RF emissions. As I do have a reading for one tire pressure sensor it does not seem likely that this is the problem.

I wanted to schedule an appointment with a Ford dealer but the person at the service department told me that the entire Ford scheduling system was down across the country. It certainly does not give me any confidence in Ford's technical expertise or its IT management for this to occur. I worked for 20 years in corporate IT with Fortune 500 businesses where it was expected to have systems up 24x7 365 days of the year. If a system went down it was a career killer for the people involved. Consider a gambling casino that has its system go down and so the cost includes the lost revenue during that period of time which could be in the millions of dollars. It Ford cannot keep a primary computer system up and running then they are not to be trusted with something like autonomous vehicles where a failure can result in death.
