Intermittent tire pressure system fault
Hey guys,
I put aftermarket wheels and tires and leveling struts on a few months ago, with new aftermarket tire pressure sensors, and ever since then I've had an intermittent fault on the front left (driver's side) sensor. It's not a low pressure fault, but a full loss of signal. It happens as often as once a day and is infrequent as once a week. After driving for a while it usually comes back.
So far I've rotated the tires, the fault did not follow the wheel so I don't think it's the sensor inside the wheel... and I disconnected and reconnected the plug for what I think is the wire going to the receiver that reads the TPMS for that tire. It's a cable that goes down into the steering knuckle and has a plug up on the fender liner.
Should I replace the receiver? Is there something else I can check out?
Thanks
