Tire sensor problems
Since I had my front tires replaced last fall, the low/flat tire light has been on. All tire pressures are correct.
When I read the codes, I get a sensor fault for all 4 wheels. After clearing the codes the low/flat tire light stays on and I get a low left front tire code. Eventually I get a code for faulty left front sensor and soon after I get a sensor fault for all 4 wheels again.
What could this be? I suspect the tire shop damaged the left front sensor but why would I get the low/flat tire light and why would I eventually get faults for all 4 wheels?
Also, where is the cheapest place to buy sensors?

Left-front seems to be the rarest of the tire sensors. Not available aftermarket that I am aware. I bought one on e-bay about a year ago for a good price. Good luck!! Make sure it comes with the strap.
