This is usually an issue with one of the sensors in the tire. The bad one might show -- for the pressure but I don't see that in your pix. Batteries die, vibration kills them, etc. By any chance have you had an work done on the tires / TPMS sensors? If they are not installed correctly they can cause an intermittent issue. Your local tire store can check the sensors and replace if needed.

Had the tires rotated about two months ago but that’s it for tire work done

I'm guessing that being a 2013, your TPMS batteries are probably getting weak. Does the message ever clear?

This ^^

What’s the pressure read when it’s cooler in the morning when you first start it?

Try adding more air on that rear pass side. Sometimes you have to go past 39psi before it will reset, then you can adjust it as needed.

Hi BobRogg,

I certainly understand why this would be concerning. If you decide to have your dealer look into this for you, our team would be happy to provide an additional layer of assistance. We’re just a private message away.

Just got the truck back from the dealer, turns out the TPMS system was stuck unlearning mode after my tire rotation. The consensus is I’ll need to replace the sensors in the tires at some point soon. Right now everything looks good but the work will be need to be done
