    I just purchased a 2021 TRD Off Road premium a week ago, love it so far. First thing I did was swap out the wheels and tires, but I'm having some trouble with the TPMS. Discount Tire was able to program the new sensors, and everything was working great until I started the car later and the individual wheels were not showing psi readouts, they were just blank. There was no warning light either, just wasn't getting the actual tire pressure readings

    The weird this is the next morning I started the car again and everything was working fine again. Drove the car for a little while, parked it for an hour or so, and when I got back in it was back to not showing the psi readouts again.

    I'm thinkin sing I'm not seeing the TPMS warning light that maybe i just need to put some miles on it for everything to register, but it seems weird that it goes back and forth between working as expected and then nothing at all.

    How soon are you checking for a reading? It takes a few minutes, it won’t show anything right when you start your truck. You won’t get a warning light if the psi isn’t below a certain threshold.

    Today I gave it at least 15 minutes and it didn't show up. This morning when I started it there were readings right away, everything was working then I parked and went into a store for 10-15 minutes, and the when I started it up there was no readings again. I drove it for 15-20 minutes from there nothing changed.
