Not sure, but did they work before? And, could need to get them magnetized possibly.(Not sure what the procedure is called for this, you place a magnet near the sensor/ valve stem, and it does something)
Hopefully someone else here will have a better answer

Did you try hitting the reset button with the ignition switch on? I have the same year as you, and my tire pressure sensors are dieing too, but it always clears off the DIC when I start the car up and hit reset. Good luck.

BTW, those sensors from a 98 may be bad. Heard they were given a life of 5-6 years...just another thought.

From the way you've worded your question it's kind of hard to tell just what the heck you're asking

Do you mean that you're DIC is STUCK on the psi readouts and you can't get it to show any other information????

OR did you use the word "get" instead of "give" and you can no longer read your tire pressures????

Whatever...

If you can no longer read tire pressures it's generally one of two things as in the batteries are dead or the sensors need to be retrained. Since you've given us the least amount of information possible regarding the problem it's hard to give you an answer. So are you seeing "XXX" or is it showing "O PSI" or what? Are you having a problem with all four readouts or just one or anything in between???

Here's a link to how to train the sensors...assuming that might be your problem.
