TPMS Fault Light

Just wanted to check the consensus on this. 2012 with 161K on it, getting an intermittent fault, goes away for a while and comes back. I need to replace the tires anyway, but I didn't want to throw sensors at it if that was unnecessary. Is there anything else I should check before replacing the sensors? The intermittent part is what is throwing me off. It was a steady on, it would have been an easy call.

What codes are present? If the sensors are original, you've gotten your money's worth out of them.

Yep, they are original. The only thing that I'm seeing with a scan is B124D(02).

I disabled my '11 with Forscan. So, if you don't want it.....

If you do, I'd try to wake each sensor at its respective valve stem with a TPMS tool. Likely one is flakey, and you should also be able to see SOC in the battery

I believe the sensors are good for around 10 years - so the local tire shop says, so it’s disable or replace time.

With an obd2 scanner, I can see each one's pressure. And they are all giving a reading. I need to check it again next time it flakes out.
