TMPS Disconnecting

[rlc3854]

Has anyone experienced any TMPS disconnect? Driving the other day the display popped up with a TMPS Fault right rear tire. I checked all the tire pressures and made sure they were all equal at 35 psi. Is something I can do or just take it to the dealer?

Ya - if pressure issue it would have said so.

Fault means no sensor reading. If it is still there - then yes dealer.

Yes a few times. Chances are it's not the sensors.
Rob,
It actually happens to me couple times a year. It happened a couple of weeks ago both back tires were showing -- -- I did not have my phone with me at the time, so no pictures of the most recent.
I learned not to sweat it, I knew the readings would come back the next morning when I started the truck and they did.
Do yours look like any of my pictures?
This is from a previous post in a different thread.
Check out the odometer. 35 miles later and all is fine.

Two bad TPMS AT ONCE... I don't think so. You can clearly see from the speedometer, the truck was moving. Did both batteries go bad at the same time??? I don't think so. Logically it didn't make sense.

Then a miracle happens
A few miles later, they BOTH start working.

That tells me it's not the TPMS sensor.
I have more pictures that show my front losing connection.

Here are more pictures from last year.

A couple of weeks ago it was the other side.

I have found when I air up with my Stanley compressor/ jumper, the readings to be most accurate. As you can see in one of the pictures I have filled all my tires to exactly 34 which is what I set my Stanley on when I filled them knowing that with the heat here in the desert the tires warm up quickly.

*I've tried hand gauges I have better success getting accurate readings, on cold tires using my compressor. I set the compressor at 34psi. it stops at 34psi and my truck indicates 34psi. Good enough for me.
*Your results May Vary

I’ve leaned the tire pressure readout is only a general indicator. The readings can be 3 or 4 pounds different than a manual gauge.

Exactly Glenn, drove for 2 days and nothing then all of sudden we're all good again

Are you using a cheap phone charger in the power point?
Some of those cheap Chinese chargers give off a lot of RF interference blocking the TPMS signals.

I have nothing plugged into the powerpoints, when the TPMS disconnect happens.
But Good to know.
