TPMS problem.....
Took the car out of storage today. THe LF tire was showing low pressure, so I checked all the tires.
Message on DIC, "service TPMS sytem soon". So I re-programed all the sensors with the magnet and they all show correct pressure except the LR now. Re-programmed it twice, still same message. All the moitors "beeped" with the magnet..... What's the problem.....Bad sensor or bad battery? Worked perfect in December.....
TIA

So do you get a new battery for the sensor or buy a new sensor... I have one acting similar to above... also, my tire gauge on the tire doesn't always match the DIC... sometimes reads low when the tire is not low. solution?

Thanks 8Vette7 - I have an 2003 so it looks like the replacement would be the easiest route (they are 7 yrs old). After I reprogram them first (with magnet, etc.,) I will give them another try before replacement.
