I was driving my 2024 2500 on the beach yesterday. The sand was hard packed from all the rain we’ve had. I did have it in 4WD high. When I got to a low clearance pier I made a fast U turn, spinning wheels and throwing sand. Not a doughnut or drift. As I drove off after the TPMS light came on with message TPMS UNAVAILABLE, and 2 other lights also, forward collision and front park sense. These 2 cleared after about 15 mins then the TPMS cleared after about 45 mins of driving.
Any ideas why this would happen after a very slight spin of the wheels on hard packed damp sand in 4WD HIGH?
No other lights for the 1 1/2 hour drive home or this morning.

**I think I found the issue:
I think sand caked on the TPMS sensor. Likely on other sensors too. Any thoughts?

were you talking about the TPMS module? The sensors are in the individual tires, so I was wondering where the module is physically located. I've been having issues with 3 of the 4 TPMS sensors (only one working is the Driver Front tire reading). I was thinking it's more likely a module problem than 3 sensors going out at the same time
