Tpms failure
Has anyone ever come across there TPMS sensor shutting there car off while driving it? It has happened to me 3 times now and now my car won’t even start. On my dash it’s saying unable to locate tires. I replaced the battery in the car an drove it around thinking that was the problem but now it’s doing it again. The 1st two times it happened it wasn’t showing my tire pressure’s so I reset them. This time it’s showing all 4 pressures but it’s still not locating my tires an the car won’t start. Frustrating!!

I have never heard of that happening. Hope you can find what is going on and then come up with a fix.

I had a tpms fail on my 2014 that I used to own. It was only one wheel failed.
Did not shut car off just showed the tire warning icon.
If your car can’t find the tires, that sounds more like a system failure.
I doubt all 4 tpms would fail at the same time

Since none of the four Tire Pressure Monitors are being monitored, it's not impossible that all four can fail simultaneously, but more likely that all four are transmitting. Therefore, I'd look at the Wireless Control Module. It could be failing or you may have another component failure that is affecting the WCM.
The pressure monitors are stupid. They just broadcast a signal. The Wireless Control Module grabs the four signals and passes that data along the GMLAN to the Body Control Module.
Last year when I changed my tires and wheels, I also installed new pressure monitors. I was told it may take a few miles for them to register. They actually registered immediately. I do not believe the loss of tire pressure should fail the start circuit.
Please let us know what you find.
