Tire pressure sensor

[Schaefer0]

hi,
Is it possible for the tire pressure sensor to be electronically jammed? Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Only when I'm sitting in traffic on a bridge (on my commute) - my2023 maverick sits level with the cell phone tower top on the bridge
road maybe a quarter mile away. A tire pressor sensor fault (not low pressure) occurs while waiting in traffic on the bridge.,
for two or three traffic-llght cycles (5 maybe 10 minutes).

The sensor fault clears after I drive away from the bridge (then stop and restart the truck). At first I thought it was a low battery but the fault
only occurs in one place, in traffic on that one particular bridge, then clears away from that bridge.

Not sure if it has anything to do with the cell tower, but the 315 MHz frequency used by the TPMS is also used by a lot of other things: garage door openers, key fobs, access control, remote controls (like at gates and parking garages).

At least, that is my paraphrase of what Google’s AI paraphrased for me…

Radio interference in the 315 mhz band at the spot where OP is having the issue is the likely culprit. Nothing to be done about it, really, except ignore it.
