DIC: SRV TIRE MON SYS
Received a display on the DIC this afternoon during my drive. Seems the left front tire was not giving signal to the sensor so that it could not determine the tire pressure (XX seen for the left front pressure). The manual indicates that the car should be brought in for service, but my initial feeling is that the battery in the sensor might be going bad since the car is a 99. Anyone have any experience with this error? How hard is it to change the sensor battery? Any information provided would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! :confused:

The tire sensor batteries cannot be replaced,you have to replace the sensor.I would do the sensor relearn procedure 1st,than take it from there if the sensor cant be programmend :yesnod:

I have the same thing happen to me intermitently. It started at 9 months old and 10000 miles. It comes and goes once or twice in 500 miles. Never happens when cold only after a few hours of driving. I am just going to let it go for now. I am thinking about some S-03's and maybe just dumping the whole runflat system, maybe someone can reprogram the computer so there are no codes. Then I could just check the tires like the old days.

Re: DIC: SRV TIRE MON SYS (CJS)
This is the first time I've had trouble with the sensor, although I've had low tire pressure warnings on this wheel before. I would suppose that it is the sending unit inside the valve tem and not the receiver, but I don't know for sure. As C5-Tech suggested, I will try and re-train the sensor and see what happens. My gut tells me it's time for a new sensor in the wheel. :(
There is something to be said about the good old days. Life was simpler then! :yesnod:

I got the same error and thought I was in for a new sensor. But I just relearned all the wheels and it cleared the error. Seems to be working fine now. Best of luck. :yesnod:

Just been "IM"ing C5-Tech and learned some interesting stuff about the sensor. Anyway, I'm going to try the re-learn and see what happens. Won't cost anything, but I have a feeling I'll need a new sensor. C5-Tech indicated the batteries in the sensor should be good to at least 7 years.
