Default TPC "learning" Is the most likely cause.........

A failed wheel "transmitter"?

Suddenly got TPMS error while driving.
09 Boxster, so wheel transmitters are 15 years old
Tyre air pressures are correct.
I know how to perform the TPMS reset
I've driven 3 times for > 15 miles and still see TPC Learning message on gauge cluster.
I have not yet connected durametric, but will see if it identifies a failed wheel transmitter.

Enjoy the day

Craig

You may need something like a Autel TP508 to scan the TPMS sensor. It should tell you its status very quickly.

I have an autel "maxipad"

I just quickly googled it. Not sure that device can help you once the sensor is already installed.

Realistically if your sensors are 15 years old they are at end-of-life.

An alternative is to use your Durametric to disable the entire TPMS and unplug it.

FYI
My autel maxi pad indicates RF transmitter is "bad"
My durametric reads real time pressures as (in bar)

2.45 2.46

2.45 5,48!!!

Now way the right rear is 81psi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to buy 4 new sensor / txmitters and train them
