TPMS Receiver Fault?

[slowboy2.3]

Having a fault pop up with the TPMS. The problem didn't follow with the tire, so I'm assuming it is being caused by a faulty/damaged TPMS receiver. I've hit several potholes throughout the year, but I don't think any of them would do enough damage to cause this problem.

The problem started after I had the wheel rebalanced due to a shake, and since then, the problem pops up after about 25ish miles of driving. The fault will disappear after about 15-20 minutes of idling, but will pop up shortly after once I start driving again. Something tells me the receiver is overheating 🫩

I'll pull the codes tomorrow once my laptop is charged, but is there anyone out there who's had a similar problem to this, and were you able to fix it on your own, or was this a trip to the dealer?

Take the car back to the shop that rebalanced your wheel. That probably is the point of failure. Also the dealership should warranty this i think if the tire shop won't help you. Goodluck

To clarify, if you check all four wheels' pressures on-screen, is it only the one wheel that is acting up?

Does any wheel register pressure consistently? Does the fob work to lock and unlock the car? If so, the vehicle's receiver and wiring are good. The fob and TPMS transmit to the same vehicle receiver in the back of the car, using the same frequencies. The parcel shelf area.

If it is just the one wheel giving you issues, you know it is that one wheel. If that one wheel is the one that was worked on, they might have damaged something while balancing it.

If more than one wheel is going in and out at random times, I'd go to a dealer to discuss as part of a warranty activity.

I think the tire shop damaged it.
