So I went back in today. They took the tire off and put a new sensor on it. Re-synced the system and even did a learning thing on it. Drove most of the day and I thought I was clear no issues. Reading tore pressure etc. This evening on the way out to dinner it popped up again. Sensor issue, Same front left tire. I really don’t know wtf is going on. I verified they changed out all the sensors so they’re brand new. No way two bad sensors back to back? Is there a special relearning procedure for these units that I can try at home before taking it back in again? Maybe something in forescan?

I recently swapped my truck to Sealight LED bulbs in the front - and recently started having a right front TPMS sensor fault. Are you saying these can be related?
I did notice with mine that it is VERY temperature related, when it's warm, or the tire warms up a bit, it works fine.

the only new thing I recently added is one of those center console fridges from Amazon. However I was having tpms issues before the fridge. That’s why I went in to get my sensors replaced. I though one of them was dying because the truck is 9 years old. If something was interfering. Wouldn’t all of them not work? It’s odd that it’s a single one.

they are all new sensors replaced last week. One of them is giving me troubles on back to back replacements. I don’t know why

Only thing I can think of is remove the problem wheel & exchange it to a new position....first it should tell you if the issue changes to the new position (this sensor is likely bad ??) & 2 if the other wheel is now @ it's new position is now reporting good or bad.....keep in mind after changing these wheels above you have to drive approx. + 15 miles for all sensors to reactivate & start to record the accurate pressures !! They have to wake up!!
