Hmm...sorry then, as that's all I could think of. Sounds like a quick trip to the dealer is in order.

Batteries should last several years. (My 06 has TPMS and no problems yet).

I can't imagine a way to test the batteries separately. These are sealed toss-away units. Try substituting another set of TPMS-equipped wheels to see if the problem goes away. If it does,--it's the senders.

If not, try troubleshooting the other end. Change wheel dimensions and then back again. Then road test it for a few miles for it to register the newer settings.
