Tire sensor
My left rear sensor stopped working about 2 months ago. I t started working on and off this week but I've noticed that it only works when the outside temp is over 80 degrees! Has anyone else had that happen and would anyone know how it happens? :crazy:

I'm wondering if it has a short or corrosion at the battery. I've never heard of this problem before. Sounds like a warranty issue.

Then I would say just replace that wheel sensor. You shouldn't even have to take the tire off the wheel, just let the air out and break the lip down some to take the sensor out.

Batteries usually fail when it's cold. I'll bet below 80 is cold to your failing battery.
