What year is your car and how old are the sensors?

The battery died in the sensor and you need to replace it.

You should be fine until replacement. I have a RR sensor that every couple of weeks will go to xx at the same spot on the freeway. I think RF interference is overwhelming a weak battery in that TPMS. After arriving at work and parking for the day, it is back to normal later in the day. Been doing this for a couple of years and the car is now just 5-1/2 years old. Will have both rear sensors replaced when I get the first set of replacement tires for the rear.

GM and Schraeder (sp?) are both good.
Some of the aftermarket sensors, not so good.
