Default TPMS Sensor glitch?

Hello all, thanks in advance for any info!

I was driving last night and downshifted to pass a vehicle and my TPMS error light lit up on my dash. I switched to the "Tire pressure" view and my front passenger tire pressure reading was showing two dashes like "--" and the other three tires were fine.

I drove for about another mile, got off the highway and came to a stop at a stop sign. I turned the car off, turned it back on and everything was back to normal. I drove for another 20 or so miles last night and drove another 15 or so miles this morning without any issues.

Do these sensors come loose? Do I need to worry about this happening again? Is this something significant that I should take it in for service?

Thanks again for reading and taking any time out of your day to reply.

Steve

Have you done any mods to your car, like sidemarker replacement?

Yes, I replaced the OEM ones with LED sidemarkers.
