Hi:
Today on the way home the amber tire pressure monitoring light in the dash went on. Also in the overhead counsel the display read "Check TPM System" for a few minutes. I went to the tire pressure screen and noticed there was no reading for the right front tire. The tire is not flat - so what do you think is the problem?

I'm hoping it's the tire sensor. The reason I think it the sensor is that the other tires show up on the display with pressure readings.

What do you think - is it the wheel sensor?
How much will it cost to have it repaired (unless it's simple to repair myself)?

Thanks;
Ken

If it is still there after starting and stopping the Jeep I would rotate the tires and see what happens. If it follows the tire its a good guess to say the sensor may be bad. If it doesnt follow the tire you may have other issues.

It is most likely a dead sensor

For what ever reason it's working again. The KJ sat for a few hours and now we're back to normal. Should it return I'll need to do the "will the fault follow the tire" game.

Thanks;

Whenever it happens again, don't change a sensor right away. These things are very sensitive, and they usually start working again on their own within a day or two. If you live where the temperature drops below freezing, there is a good chance that the problem is temperature related. I have experienced it a few times myself, and it always corrects itself eventually.

You said "the tire is not flat" but you didn't say you checked the pressure and found it to be... As another said it could be temperature related. Lower temperature, lower pressure. I had a sensor brake and it was like $20 mail order from that online mopar parts place.
