    Default Tire Pressure System Failure

    Tire Pressure System Failure Warning. The tie pressure system set a warning like I have low tire pressure but all 4 tires are t reading anything and have proper tire pressure? Any one have this happen and have any ideas as to what is wrong. I was thinking I’d just take the car to a tire place and have them replace the valve stems and sensors.

    If one sensor dies, the whole thing kinda stops working. It's not the most user friendly thing, because then you need an OBD scanner that does TPMS to tell you which one. Or maybe a TPMS battery scanner like this might tell you.

    AND... once you are at the point where one of the sensor's (battery) has failed, it is only a matter of time before the other 3 follow suit. I was in the same situation a little while back.

    Exactly!! One will be out but will show all 4 not working. ]
    I agree on the OBD sensor. I purchased this a few years ago. It was 6.99 on Amazon. Saves you a headache

    I had to replace one a couple years ago. The other three are still working fine. It's cheap enough to replace one at a time as needed. And it's not like you can't drive the car while one or more are dead.
