Re: TPMS flaked out

Usually when it shows a -- its indicating a dead sensor. Factory sensors are said to have a 7 year battery lifespan. You are toward that lifespan now.

I did have a similar freak out on my Grand Prix the other day. I got in the car and headed up the road. Less than a mile after I pulled out my CHECK LEFT FRONT TIRE light came on. I switched to that screen and it was reading 21 psi. I thought maybe I ran over something so I kept watching it and it remained unchanged. A minute later the light went out and the pressure was back where it had put the tire at weeks before.

I consider it a brain fart at this time.
