Default TPMS fault

I just had new wheels and tires with new sensors installed. Picked up the truck and drove it for a few days with no fault and all pressures reading correctly. A few days ago, I suddenly got a "tire pressure system fault" pop up. Its was not showing a pressure reading for all 4 tires. I figured I would bring back to the shop to check it out, but the next morning the fault was gone and it was reading the sensors again fine with the correct pressures for each tie. Was fine for 2 days and then it did the same thing, TPMS fault and all 4 tires not reading. I waited to see if it would go off again and sure enough, 2 days later, it went to reading the pressures again. This morning, I have the fault again. I've tried searching but everyone seems to have one sensor go out, not all 4. Is it possible all 4 sensors went bad that quickly? Is it something I can look for?
Thanks

this same thing just happened to me last week putting on new wheels and tires. Do you still have your old tires and tpms sensors laying around your garage maybe? What happened to me was the new tpms sensors weren't programmed right so when i left the tire shop they were reading the old wheels in my bed. Took the old wheels home and put them in the garage. Every day the sensors would fail 20 minutes on my way to work and every night they would reconnect to the old wheels in the garage. Tire shop had to hook up an obd tool to the truck and copy the code because i guess 2015 specifically won't relearn new codes and that's where they messed up.

the old tires are relatively close by in my storage building at work. Just got in to drive home and now it’s saying tire pressure sensor fault instead of system and it’s reading all but the right front sensor, the one closest to the storage building where I parked at work. I’m going to move them tomorrow and see if that helps at all.
edit: went for a little drive and about 1/2 an hour into it, I got the tire pressure system warning again and all 4 tires aren’t reading

I've been dealing with the same problem since spring. The fault is on one or both of the front tires. I bought my tpms off of amazon so I'm assuming the batteries in the front 2 might be weak. I also thought I might get mixed sensor reading due to my old tires in my garage. I eventually sold my old tires and the problem persists. It's weird sometimes they work.....other times the warning comes on randomly. My next plan is to get the front 2 replaced.

Not sure what year your trucks are but my 18 did the same thing with new wheels, tires and sensors. Went round and round with them, the fault will come back after 18-20 miles of driving. Finally I had the guy at Discount Tire clone my old sensors onto the new ones and haven’t had an issue since. By the way, just went thru the same thing on my son’s 18 also.
