Hi all,
I keep getting this alert on my dash board.
It shows the pressuren of my front 2 tires but won't give a reading for the rear tires.
I do live in Maryland and it is pretty cold right ow, so I know the tire pressure readings will be off depending on the temp outside.
But sometimes it comes on and sometimes it doesn't. Does this mean my tire sensors are going bad or is this a fuse thing.?
Any help would be appreciated.

Are they original, if so probably on their way out. Life expectancy 7-9 yrs average. Cold weather pulling the last juice out of the batteries in the sensors which are not replaceable (the batteries i mean). Probably need new sensors. Thing is they are all the same age i'm assuming, the others may soon follow. I had this happen on a Ford work truck. Do you know anyone with a tpms tool, they can run it around the 4 wheels and get a health report on each sensor if so.

We have weird weather here sometimes, i mean you can use the a/c and heater in the same day. So thats why my tps sensors wouldn't work in the morning, then they would in the day when all warmed up. Sign of very weak batteries.
