Something intermittently causing the system to reset. That'll be a bitch to find. Intermittent electrical gripes are usually found to be a loose or corroded connection. I've not a clue in these computer controlled systems.

Could be the batteries in the sensors are getting weak, they on average last 5 to 7 years so the sensors may need to be replaced. Weak batteries can do funny things to systems.

I took my truck to the local tire shop so that they could run a diagnostic on the sensors, the guy told me all were working fine and responded to their tests as they should. I am fast running out of ideas as to what could be causing this, and the sound is driving me nuts. I wish there was a way to just disable it while I figure this out

I'm sure it's the same chime for all the alerts so disabling it is probably not possible.

so you are having trouble with only one sensor? My 09 does not distinguish sensors, just one light and one beep for all four. Anyway, on my vette, I was having a similar issue with the right front sensor and I took it to Americas tire and they checked them with the magnetic doughnut and the reader and said they were are all fine. Somehow this would reset the sensor for a few days and it would come back, I got fed up and told them to change the sender even if it tested good, they did for $65 out the door, all has been good for about 2 months now. Maybe time to throw $65 at it.

One thing to note is that when they check them at the tire shop, the reader is just about touching the sender, so if the signal is weak, their tool can read it but maybe not the RFmodule since it's further away and also surrounded by other electronics.

Yeah I know what it's like. Regardless of what I'm told I always verify it myself. It's not a bad thing to be that way either.
