Service TPMS Message

[Ex Euro Driver]

Hey all, getting the SERVICE TPMS message on the display. It’s happened 3 times in the last 6 weeks. Turn the truck off, go start it the next day and the message is gone. Any ideas what could be causing this? TIA.

The lithium ion batteries inside TPMS sensors may last anywhere from five to 10 years. Five to six years is a more typical lifespan for older TPMS sensors. TPMS sensors don't broadcast a continuous signal but only broadcast when the vehicle is in motion. Even then, the signal is intermittent to conserve battery life.

Hmmm. Suppose it might be time for new sensors.

 

[Doubeleive]

maybe, there is no code stored for a specific wheel? I don't know if the tpms would even save a code

Not sure either. It’s really odd that it only does it in the morning when I’m on my way to work. There have been hundreds of other opportunities for the truck to throw the same message but it’s just that specific time. Weird

I would bet the batteries don't like the cold and they have been sitting all night.
