phoenix1151 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Wife's 2012 Journey TPMS system alert intermittently comes on despite tire pressures not being low. Could this be caused by the sensor in a tire having a weak battery leading to low or intermittent signal or do these sensors just tend to stop altogether? My Dodge Nitro is 4 years older and doesn't show any such issue so I wonder whether sensor battery life is even a likely suspect. Does the alert just show when a tire is below pressure spec or would it also be triggered if say one tire was higher pressure than the rest?

Armando G Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 I had one sensor go bad two years into owning my DJ. After trying to fix it myself, I took it in and got it replaced... one year later, no problems. My mechanic showed it to me and it had a little crack on it. It's not really common, but it happens. If the rest are fine, your main module should be fine. phoenix1151 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
