One instance TPMS failure
I've had one instance of the message that TP monitoring is inactivated.
On a restart, the left front tire showed ------
Eventually, after a few miles, the tire showed the correct pressure.
QUESTION: does this incident suggest to the accumulated experience of the board members here that
1. I will see increasing incidents like this suggesting imminent failure of the LF sensor, or
2. This sometimes happens, and is one of those peculiar things that happens to E class cars on a few occasions, like strange beeps.
Thanks

Thanks.
Ah! Battery! I thought they generated their own power by some kind of motion driven generator. Shows what I know . . .
Anybody have experience re: the cost of replacing?
Is this a warranty item?

Amazon - $28 each. TPMS #SC-8214.
What most people don't know is that only THREE TPMS sensors made - cover 90% of all vehicles on the road.
My current Benz sensors (aftermarket wheels) came out of a 2013 Jeep.

I had one go ----- also and never regain conscientious about 2-3 years into ownership. It was replaced under warranty. It does require the tire being broken off the wheel bead to replace it. Not a big repair if you have to pay for it.
