How do we know that? mcwllt12 never came back to respond.

 

The sensors in my 2011 failed, I replaced them after I got this message. As for the OP , I don’t know if it’s fixed or not.

 

Mine are driving me crazy. If I drive on the freeway, I will lose communication with one or two, usually starts with the right rear. All new sensors when I bought the wheels and tires, my Autel TPMS tool shows them all working even when I get no readout. (Sometimes they will stay out, sometimes they start communicating) My scantool doesn't show any sensors becoming 'de-registered'. It wouldn't be as annoying if I didn't have to restart the car to clear the light. The sensor will often only stop communicating for a couple minutes, but the light doesn't reset without a power cycle. I've heard that the replacement sensors do not have as long of a 'range' for communications, this seems to line up with my observations. Downside to this is it suggests there is no way to remedy this. I'm about to wire in a reset button that will cycle power to the door lock/tpms module so I can at least reset it on the fly.

Only other thing I can think of is try to find factory original TPMS sensors.

And, no- I don't want to 'pUt A PiEcE oF tApE oVeR iT, hur dur'. I really cannot express how much this triggers my OCD.

Isn’t it the 2008 models that could have some type of programming issues ? Hardware needs to be updated or something. Or am I thinking of something else.

 

It was the 2008 model year that required a reflash

 

But the problem was you could not do a position reset.

 

Perhaps matching your TPMS sensors as directed in your owner’s manual section 5 pages 65 and 66.

no tools or equipment required just release air pressure to match the sensors

I've done the re-teach a couple times, rotated the tires, it's always the right rear that gives the most problem. Tried de-registering all of them and starting from scratch. It definitely seems to be an issue with the sensors not being powerful enough for the signal to reach the module. I'm wondering if I can relocate the module to a more central location, maybe behind the sunroof.

I even considered disabling TPMS entirely, but my scantool does not allow me to do this.

This is literally the only light that ever comes on the dash. I pride myself on maintaining my vehicles and not driving around with warning lights.

 

I’m the same, I can’t stand to have any dash board warning lights on. Yours being a 2008, you might just need a RCDLR reflash.

 

It is illegal to disable factory installed safety equipment.
My right rear used to periodically go flat when I drove past Quantico MCB; the NSA has a big base there. I assumed it was from RF jamming and the RR being farthest from the RCDLR. If you have any electronics in the car, including a sub-woofer/amplifier/OnStar/XM they could block the RR.
