Default 98 tire senors

98 coupe the tire pressure sensors lose their communications, but are easily restored. My problem is that it happens on a regular basis. What might this be?

What kind of wheels / tires are you running? Don't know if other than OEM could cause such a problem or not...........How good are your TPS batteries? Do you know how old, how many miles are on them?

Is it always the same two that have the problem?

More information would help in diagnosis.

It sounds like the sensor batteires may be getting weak - are they the original sensors or have they been replaced?

If you have original sensors, you are living on borrowed time. Series I sensors usualy last 7 years or 100,000 miles.

How are they "easily restored", by re-learning them? That is not easy in my book!

Does you DIC "loose" any settings? If so, your car battery could be low or bad.
