Does your code reader read TPMS codes? Most don't.

Batteries hate cold weather.

Not sure, but guessing no. It's been a pretty good code reader for my other vehicles. Able to pull and reset codes with ease.

Ya, that's what I'm leaning towards. It's been freezing or just below here the last few days. My tires are good for probably another 50k miles, so I guess I'll just deal with it...

Just got back from a 4 hour trip, and the TPMS light cycled at least 6 times throughout the trip. It would be on for about 30 minutes, then go off for about 10 minutes, then come back on. What is this telling me? The batteries are going bad? They have just enough juice to occasionally power the sensor, but then go out at random times? I guess replace all sensors?
