If it doesn't straighten itself out try this........a year or so ago I had one acting goofy and this is what I did, no problem since.
Fill the offending tire up to around 40 lbs or so then drive a few miles on it..........go home and let the air out to normal pressure ( I use 29 cold and tires wear perfectly). After I did that mine has functioned normally and I have no idea why

I agree that it sounds like a sensor battery going bad. I have all the original sensors in my white/torch red 2000 coupe, and they are still working fine, but then it only has 19,500 miles on it. I have an extra set of used sensors, so I'm going to try the battery install myself, and see how it goes when the time does come to change them.
