Dealer. I wonder if when you got your tire changed, they damaged the sensor. It is attached to the circumfrence of the wheel by means of a strap. There is a specific one for each wheel. Had to replace one last year and if I remember correctly the sensor ran about $125.
Good luck

Mine has been acting up for about a year and a half, if you can live with the light being on there is no "need" to fix it. Just keep an eye on your tire pressure.

Mine is acting up too. My battery died last winter and after it was recharged I had the Service LTPWS light. It comes on when I start the car then goes out after I've driven about 300 yards. Stays out until I turn it off then start it up again. :crazy:

The estimates for my repair job list the '90 sensor @ 175.23

When I have to replace my tires I'm pulling all of my sensors out. I check my tire pressure regularly, I don't need them. And the "Service LTPWS" light on the dash is just annoying. Mine goes on and off at least 5-6 times per week.

Check EBay often if you can. I bought a replacement sensor about a year ago for $60 there. Just make sure it's for the correct tire :)

This is what I did. I was getting frequent false warnings, and the system had become more of an annoyance than anything else. Happy to be rid of it.
