I was just driving home and the "tire pressure sensor fault warning came on in my car. I stop and a gas station and checked all tires' pressure and they were fine, but I did find a screw in one tire. Mechanic's Assistant: Is the tire cold or warm? And are you using a decent pressure guage for the reading? I was about to pull into my apartment when it went off, so warm I would say. (20min drive home) . . It was one of the digital tire pressure gauge that they have at cas stations. Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2007 Ford Edge Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Edge yourself? What have you tried so far? I am not, but I won't be able to get it in until Saturday cause of the Holidays. Is it safe to drive on until then?
