Default TPMS Intermittant Flat Tire Reading

I put new OEM TPMS sensors in last December. Now summer is here, and after driving a while I get a flat tire reading (0 pressure - not the xxxx reading). Sometimes it goes back to showing the correct pressure intermittently. It does not happen in the morning or on cooler afternoons, so I think somehow the heat is affecting the sensor.

Any ideas on a fix besides replacing the monitor again?

If it is always the same sensor I'd say you have a bad one.

Weird but I had that issue once upon a time...........filled that particular tire with something like 50 lbs., drove it a few miles, let air out to 28 lbs., drove again and it's been reading fine. Go figure

Maybe I'll just move somewhere cold.

Thanks
