If tire pressure is OK,
If tire moniter system was reset with new tires,

Suspect damaged sensor from new tire install, possible battery in the sensor is too old.

Perhaps search option for sensor issues.

No sensors; this is RFI, not TPMS. Turns out, however, that I can't "eyeball" my 18's like I could the 16's I was running recently: one was down to 25.5lbs from 32.5! I can only hope this won't be an ongoing issue with these month-old tires!
