What model car exactly?

If you've added the sensor/bottle to a GLi/Futura/XR even With abs then it won't work the display. The wire needs to be added.

If its a fairmont etc, then it might be stuck. remove it clean/shake it even.

Ok,
Well theres the issue, the cluster has the section in the LCD display as mass production, however theres no wiring too it.

You need to add it for this function to operate.

You'll find many other items such as 'low coolant' and 'Spot lamps' (actually I think EL GLi's have low coolant enabled)

Welcome to Fordmods. this is where the 'mods' begin.
