Default TPMS Msg + Dash went dom

On a recent 3,000 mile road trip my TPMS suddenly flagged the right front as sensor as being faulty. This occurred simultaneously with my dash going dim, but not out. Stopped to check the pressure in the tire and it was okay. Kept driving but kept an eye on the dash and TPMS icon. After about 30 minutes I noticed the dash was bright again AND the TPMS error icon was gone. It showed the correct pressure/temp. Never reappeared BUT my dash dimmer isn't working. Not a show stopper but some odd occurrences that are probably related. Any ideas???

You need to take it to the dealer and have them address the dimmer issue and to scan for any history codes that might indicate what happened. Those codes are more than likely GM specific body codes that an OBD II scanner won't be able to read.
