Again on the left rear no reaction with psi dropping. Is it just coincidence that it's both on the left side of is there more to it?
Bad TPMS sensors are most likely the problem. My left front is bad. The dealer put the system into test mode with a scanner and it verified the bad one, but now it won't reset until I replace the bad sensor. Before dealer tested it, only the bad one read --, the others read the actual psi...

Sensors are ~$20 each + labor. It is quite nice to know the psi of each tire. We both probably should get ours fixed and clear the annoying light on the dash.

I replaced that and while doing so I found a bad cable end on the negative cables. fixed that and so far driving a few tanks of fuel threw it this Christmas week it looks to be acting right again. I refer to always loosing sound from the radio and chimes.

I think for the tms I will start now with the basics and see if I can get the wheel sensors to set themselves. I put my obdII on and find no codes. (SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM) appears on the dash.
FRONT TIRES PSI
LEFT-- RIGHT--
REAR TIRES PSI
LEFT-- RIGHT--
Maybe now that I have a new battery and good connections this with set up correctly. I hope anyway. Thank you all for the help and sport to have taken so long to be back around. I think I have more problems yet to come, noisy lifters and think 2nd gear is weak. But one thing at a time.
My tire sensors have never worked either and display the "-" blank message that you are getting for all 4 wheels.

To be honest I am glad mine do not show. I would rather go around by hand and test them myself. I think that the sensors would get annoying after a while and I heard they are finicky and expensive.
