Tire Pressure Sensor
The other day the DIC said something like...Service Tire Monitoring System then went away.
Haven't seen it appear since.
Is that a fluke, or is that an indication that they should be replaced.
Car is a 2000.
Thanks,

1997-2000 TPMS are supposed to last 7 years or 100,000 miles. If yours are original, they should be replaced if you change rims. They have a date stamp in the plastic showing date they were made (circles with arrows pointing to numbers).
Buy from Gene or Frictner's, they are cheapest at ~$90 each.

your batteries are dying. As temperatures drop as we approach autumn, the message will appear more frequently.
The tire needs to be dismounted or at least the bead broken and the side wall depressed so the old TPMS can be removed and a new one inserted.
Many tire shops will not do this without removing the tire because the depressing the side wall approach is not safe for the technician. Should something happen and the tire slip away from the machine, the tech could lose his hand.

New sensors have to be "Learned" by the car. There is a procedure and I think it is in your owner's manual. If not, do a search in this forum and you will find it. When I get home from work, I will look it up if no one else beats me to it.
Thanks chreaponecoat for your indorcement.
