Anyone have a tire sensor go bad?

Driving to work this morning and the dash lit up with the tire monitor error.

Pulled over and checked the pressure and all is well.(35 psi)

Cole......

Try re-calibrating your sensors. I know it's a pain and troublesome, but I've been told the sensors will loose signal on occasion and require resetting.

The directions are in your Owners Manual.

Or your dealer will do it for free or replace the bad sensor if needed since you are under warranty.

Thanks, but it didn't.
  • LF TPMS -- no problem found.
  • RR TPMS -- no problem found.
  • rattle in B-pillar plastic (there's a TSB somewhere around here on this) -- smear dirty, greasy fingers on the headliner and plastic
  • rattle in center of dash -- pretend it doesn't exist
  • no issue with headliner -- add more greasy fingers to it and make sure it hangs down about 2" in the front where the hands-free mic is located
  • limp mode -- hey, they appear to have fixed this one

I've been on the phone with the GM (SM is ooo this week). I'm not a happy camper.

Had my right rear one replaced. It was faulty. Warranty covered it.
