Tire pressure sensor question............
One of my tire pressure sensors is giving me a problem trying to read the tire pressure. When I try to take a pressure reading with a digital or analog pressure gauge, it doesn't register. The sensor itself is working, as I'm getting a pressure reading on the DIC, but the valve stem seems to have a problem. Should I just change out the internal stem inside the valve?

I once had the same problem. The internal Schrader valve had been screwed in so far that it would not open when the pressure gauge was pressed against it. I replaced the Schrader valve and everything was fine. You can buy new internal stems at any auto supply store. They come in short and long versions. You want the short one.
