Right Rear Flat, now 30psi, sensor going?
Topic says it all. I'm hanging tight to see if it happens again, but I don't like seeing 0 psi when I'm driving down the road! Scared me! :) :eek:
Will work for HPDE time.

Probably just a "transitory".... These cars are a sensor/grounding nightmare; wonderful when it all works, but........ Do a training routine ans see what happens. :rolleyes: :)

While driving down in southern California a while back when the air temps were as high as 109, my tire monitoring system went nuts when driving at freeway speeds which kicked up the tire pressure above the sensors upper limit. I got service tire monitoring system messages as well as flat tire messages. Sometimes the pressures would read out with xx’s and sometimes 0. When the tire pressures returned to levels that the sensors could read, the warnings went away.

...... and on the right rear tire too!Only happened twice, both times after I stopped, filled with gas and then started moving again. Once I reached freeway speeds and hit the "reset" everything returned to normal.
