Tire Sensor problems

I was driving along and all of a sudden my yellow (i) button on the dash was flashing, flipping through the DIC I saw the LF tire sensor said -- instead of a number.

Anyone else have this happen? After I shut the car off and turned it back on it was on again, but I have a slow leak in the tire so I relly on that stupid piece to work. Pressure was at 32 when I checked it after the issue.

It happened to me on the tollway.

I was driving home from getting the rear seat for my '08 Panel and I got the -- thing too.

It went away and back to reading the tire pressure up until I replaced my tires and wheels shortly afterwards.

I had New sensors put in my new to me tires and rims.

I will be putting the stock tires and rims back on for the Winter, so we shall see how they do.(stock factory sensors still in them)

Yeah my car just hates me. I have decided that when the dealership knows your voice and name and you have only owned the car 4 months and a week there is a problem.

Sensors

Mine are in backwards! LF is really RR.
Is this something I can fix easily or should I just take it to the dealer.

It means the wheels were rotated, but they didnt reset the positions. Instructions are in the HHR owners manual.

Thanks.

They are tearing down the Porcelain Buildings around here and rebuilding using a stone look cinder block.

I thought I better get a pic of the Panel in front of one of the few remaining "Porcelain Palaces" before it too was torn down and rebuilt.
