Tire warning
Lot of rain cooler temps today in Tampa. On drive home got Service Tire warning. Blinking tire display and "XX" for pressure reading. Tire looks fine feels solid, etc. Malfunction???

XX means the sensor is going bad, it doesn't mean low pressure.
If your car is an older model it's likely the batteries are just going out on it and you'll need to get a new sensor for that tire.

I had all of my Tire pressure sensors read erratically and very low or nothing at all. I replaced my battery and everything was perfect again. BUT- I also noticed the engine would turn and extra time or two before starting up due to the battery being weak.

CPTAHAB,
This could mean a few things. It sounds like an issue with your TPS. I'd recommend checking it out with a gauge to make sure your car is safe to drive. Then, take it to the dealership and have them check out your TPS. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

How old are your sensors?
One could be heading south. Mine were slow to repond before I replaced them.
