Hello,
I have been having some issues with my tire pressure sensors. Last week it was not registering the front Right driverside tire. later in the week that side came back on and the left front passenger side went out. now today, the Left front passenger side is back on and the front driver side is out again. Any thoughts?

If you wanted to you could disable the whole system with AlfaOBD. I did that on my truck so I could swap my wheels and not have to worry about the light being on.

How old are they? Could be the batteries are going dead.

Are you experiencing any difficulties with remote starting?

AFAIK, the TPMS signals are received by the RF Hub, behind the back seat.

Does the TPMS registration state ever change after driving for a period of time, and before shutting off the engine?

I have heard that some of the RF Hubs are sensitive to a lower battery voltage and that can reduce the range of FOB reception. If you were also experiencing this behaviour, I would recommend load testing the battery with a toaster-style battery load tester like this $18 unit from Harbour Freight.

I just HAVE to ask, are you in England?
My driver is the left side, and the passenger is the right side.
I DO hope you find a fix, but having an English wife, I had to ask...

Crap. I meant to ask that too, but I was multitasking, and I forgot to ask about the right-hand drive. :cool:
