Try hitting the re-set in the DIC, then go to Gages and check out tire psi's. It will be obvious (no reading) which one is not functioning.

It's that simple. Now fixing it may not be simple. Search the threads about using a magnet to retrain the sensor first. If that doesn't work it may have to be replaced. Good luck

thanks guys, i just checked all the tire presures and my front left has no reading on it.....so now if i do buy a new sensor do i just go to the tire shop and have them take the tire off and install the new one, how hard is it to do this? does it need anything to be reset after you put back the wheel on or it should just work on its own right after. thanks so much guys.
