Cool Tire pressure sensors

On the trip through Kansas, there were a number construction areas and the contractors installed some self made rumble strips on the blacktop approaching the repair areas, these were made from'old tire treads' nailed into the surface. These were VERY high and not in the normal spacing. I had slowed down to under 35 mph, about 100 yards from the repair area and crossed these rumble strips and they were so rough that they really 'SHOOK the car violently' !!!
Since that event the tire pressures read-outs are changing all the time even though they are all still 32 PSI and the warning 'low tires' is on all the time!!!
Anyone have any ideas about correcting this problem??????

If you are not having flat tires, follow the owners manual to recalibrate the TPMS

I will guess that an electrical connection in one of the fuse boxes got jiggled. Probably the one under the hood.
