Default Tire Pressure sensor problems

I am getting a strange (to me) message on tire pressure on my IPC. It's just "Tire pressure RF_____LF_____lbs" Same for the back with no numbers displayed for actual tire pressure.
I did the re-training with the magnet and got the horn to beep on every tire but still no pressure is being displayed??
Any ideas?

Thx

depending on where you live.. it's pretty cold out and tire pressure is down. not to mention it's slows down electronics (ie TPS) drive a few blocks and see if it goes away... find a way to warm your tires up a lil..

If that doesn't resolve your problem.. you might have a more technical problem... and this is something i'm not overly familiar with as only 2 of my sensors have worked since i bought the car.

Default not moved or moving?

i don't think the sensors begin to report pressures until they are rolling. i know mine indicate blanks until i get it out of the garge and then they start to report pressures. at least that is the way mine works. hope yours is the same.

Default Never thought of that!

You may have something on the need to be "rolling" as I've only had the problem recently when I have been checking it at a standstill. I'll check it out.

Default tire sensors

The tire sensors in our 02 give a reading even when it isn't moving
I'm not crazy about the tire sensors. When i get aftermarket rims i'm going to do with out them, if i can?

Default mine do too

mine report when they aren't rolling but not after it has been in the garage for a few days. after long sits they need to roll a little before they work. hibernation makes sense to save the batteries.
