Pull the codes, it might explain the problem.
Presume you know a 1999's will not display pressure until driven a bit.
ALso,sometimes re-learning ALL the wheels has been reported to fix the problem.

I had that same mysterious thing on one....... air it up to say 42 or so then let the air out down to around 29 or so and the sensor magically worked perfectly again........ weird

First thing to try would be a full relarn to see if that helps clear the problem.
From what I hear the replacements are about $85 each

IN any event they are reaching their life's end. The cheapest place to buy 99 sensors are from Gene Culley at Fred Beans A supporting forum vendor.
gculley@fredbeans.com.
You could go to Ebay, but I would be concerned about ebay and dated sensors. You could buy three or four year old sensors from ebay.
