Service Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
#21
Just had the TPMS service message pop up on display. Was driving on a pretty wet/icy interstate and 5-10 seconds on the rumble strip while driving. Moments later the TPMS service sprung up and has not gone away.
I have tried to reset the system, but the drivers rear tire will not give the honk as the other tires have. I tried to reset twice and that is the only tire that will not give the indication honk.
I am guessing that the sub-zero temps and riding on the rumble strip has damaged that sensor in the tire.
If anyone has any other suggestions before I take this to the dealership, I am all ears.
Thanks!

What year is the vehicle? if its close to 4-5 years old, I would suspect a bad sensor.. most tire shops have a tool that can read the sensor and tell you the battery life and if its even alive, most will do it for free..
If it is bad, you might check Amazon for the sensor, they have the OEM ones at pretty competitive prices as does RockAuto...

Thank you, Erica. It seems that after I went through the "relearning" process for the TPMS, the system reset after driving the vehicle about 10 miles or so. Now if I can figure out the clunking in the trans maybe I won't be so interested in parking this truck in the office of the dealer that sold it to me.
