Default Tpms code

I hadn't drove the car for a few days due to bad weather. sunny out yesterday so we went for a quick drive. about a mile and a half down the road the service tpms light comes on and the psi gage goes blank. another mile down the road i see the tire pressure psi gage that was reading nothing flicker once like it wants to work again but doesn't.. suggestions.

Also had tc light come on under moderate acceleration in 3rd gear but did it when i back fully off the throttle. had it happen in 4th on the interstate as well a few weeks ago hard acceleration to pass in 4th and let off then i see the traction light come on while decelerating on the off ramp.

If you still have a blank pressure for one of the tires, you should manually check the tire pressure on that tire, you could have a flat, that might also cause TCS issues as well. How does the tire look visually, run flats don't always look really flat, low profile tires can be deceiving.

If that doesn't reveal anything, go to the dealer. Bad readings in those systems can cause other weird handling issues unexpectedly. Remember the systems will try to correct for things it thinks are happening, without you doing anything. Computer controlled systems are great until they aren't or are getting bad data.

Thx for the reply. The whole psi gauge was showing no psi on any tires.

Go to the dealer, I don’t think there is any other option.

I suppose you could try to relearn all the sensors, but with other issues I would let the dealer handle it under warranty.

Have you installed led side markers? I had tpms issues with my 19 z06 that acted exactly like that with the lights on and led side markers.

Update... rechecked all tires with a tpg all read about 30 psi...car had been sitting for a couple weeks due to snow. long story short put 34 psi in all tires hit relearn 2 miles later it's reading all correct psi..still not sure why it wouldnt read any pressure, low even... knock on wood.
