I have had a problem with the right front tire sensor not working most of the time. I have had it to the dealer twice and they replaced the sensor once but still no fix.
I had cracked a rotor so I bought some new rotors and installed them last night. When i pulled the rotor i noticed all of the brake dust on and around the hub and the wheel speed sensor so i took some brake cleaning spray and washed the area down.
Well, the right front tire sensor starting working great. It has only been one day but it picks up the psi faster than the left one does.
At about 6000 miles I had to change front left sensor. Went to the dealer and they changed it. But only the fourth sensor worked!
So try with a third one.

I don't understand where you sprayed the cleaner to make the psi sensor work better. Wheel cleaning spray would probably work and I would like to give it a try. My pressure sensors have been acting strangely lately.
What you were spraying was the connection for the Wheel Speed Sensor. This WSS is located in the Wheel bearing and has nothing to do with the Tire Pressure Sensors that are located inside your wheels.
