tire perssure sensor
I have a problem with a tire pressure sensor. The tire is full and the sensor reads a desending pressure. It starts out at the proper number and over a period of time the reading desends lower and lower to nothing. The tire is still full mind you. Now the kicker, the tire gauge also reads the desending pressure, even though the tire is full. I've let out all the air several times and pumped it up to the proper pressure. The gauge on the compressor reads the proper pressure the tire gauge reads the proper pressure, and the dash readout reads the proper pressure. After a period of time the readout reads lower and lower, the tire gauge reads lower and lower, but when I go to inflate the tire, the pressure gauge on the compressor reads the correct pressure. So the tire is full, but the trie gauge and the digital readout say the tire is flat. I've tried several different tire gauges, all with the same result. I'm I going nuts or what? Please advise.

I would replace the valve
