it is very possible that you have a bad sensor. Mine had gone out a couple of time before, with the dealer replacing them.

Have you try actually reactivating the TPMS? Go to where you read your tire pressure and hold onto the reset button then hit + when ask if you want to reactivate. Then drive for a while ~5 minutes or more. I sometimes cycle through the menu too.

goodluck

Tiger! I just tried that and it worked. I didn't have to drive at all but the reset button worked like a charm. Maybe it works for other things?
