2009 E350 getting message - Tire Pressure Monitor Inoperative

Anyone has any clue what could be fault ?

I tried TPMS reset from steering wheel and reset button.

Did lot of googling did not find anything.

Is it bad tire sensor ?

or some monitor or fuse ? Where can I find these ?

Did you ever get this fixed? I have an 08 and i have the same problem. Bought new wheels and sensors. Did a reset on the cluster and everything was fine for about 10 miles...then i got the yellow tire flashing on The dash. Later came the Inoperative TPMS message. It also said No Tire Sensors. I know i have sensors, but perhaps the system isin't reading them, or one of them. Idk

Most tire shops have tools to scan the sensors to see if they're working. They're sealed batteries and they say they only last 5-7 years before dying, sometimes longer.

Again, does anyone have a clue as to why you would get an TPMS Inoperative error message after changing tires, and new sensors? It doesn't appear this
group has a good answer.

new sensors each have their own unique ID, you have to program the TPMS module to tell it which ID is where on the vehicle. Module was likely looking for its old sensor IDs
