Tire pressure sensors

99 Hardtop. I've never had a problem with tire pressure sensors until now. I did reprogram once due to dead battery with no problem. Went out yesterday and as soon as gages came up it indicated 0 psi in LF. I manually checked it and it was right on 30 psi. Tried the standard reprogram sequence and it does the LF in about 10 seconds, then totally stalls at the RF.

DIC codes are C2105 H C, C2110 H C, C2115 HC, which are TPM sensor malfunctions at RF, RR and LR.

Someone has suggested replacing batteries in the sensors.

I'm about 10 days out of warranty. Any ideas?

Hello hwg99c5, Unfortunately from the information that you gave me Yes you definitely have a problem that needs to be diagnosed with a TechII. However, there are a few things you can do to narrow down the problem. You will need to drive the car consistantly above 30 + miles for at least 5 minutes. Then push the button to read the tire pressure. If there is only dashes that means the sensor is not working. If you have a reading of any kind the sensor is transmitting. However, it may be inaccurate. It would be highly unusual for three sensors to go bad at the same time. It is possible that the LF sensor is giving a faulty reading which then is causing the codes to set for the other three sensors. Also, as for replacing the batteries in the sensors they are not serviceable. You would need to replace the entire sensor. Unfortunately, as I said before you will need to go to a dealer so they can use the Tech II to properly diagnose the problem and then fix it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
