Question:
Hello, Carla. I appreciate your response but one part of your answer doesn't make sense to me. In the first scenario you said lost comms would be indicated by a dash. However in the second scenario the display should not be able to differentiate a missing sensor from lost comms? It would still only detect lost comms and show the same dash. How would it know the sensor is gone? Does that make sense?

Expert Reply:
According to my contact at TST, there are two scenarios that would indicate a sensor failure on your TST TPMS # TST-507-FT-6-C.
If the battery is dead or sensor communication is interrupted temporarily, lines or dashes "---" are displayed for that sensor on the monitor. Since the battery life on the system can be anywhere from 12 to 18 months, this is unlikely. Also, the system automatically refreshes to display new information every 5 minutes, so the dashes would not be displayed for long once power is restored.
However, if the sensor becomes permanently separated, for example, if it gets blown off the wheel, then the monitor will freeze, displaying the last known reading. If that is the case, you can replace damaged or lost sensors with # TST-507-FT-S2, which includes two tire sensors.
