I bought the EEZ Tire Pressure Monitoring System with 4 sensors in July of 2018. It has always taken around 10 minutes for the display to show all 4 sensor readouts but yesterday it took nearly 45 minutes to get one readout. All 4 readouts were displaying after an hour. It has never taken that long for the system to work before. Once there were readouts, it worked fine but obviously something isn't right. The distance from the monitor to the sensors is no more than 25 feet. What could the problem be? Bad Sensors?, Bad Batteries?, Bad Monitor?

do you have anything else wireless in the rig? Maybe wireless thermometer? once I took the batteries out of our wall thermometer and the wireless outside sensor for it, our tire system worked much better. Different brand but likely the same technology.

Did some of the readouts show up quickly and then some lagged behind? I am unfamiliar with how the EEZ TPMS system works. If all four took a long time to show up I would suspect the monitor, but if only 1 or 2 took longer I would check the individual batteries.

Perhaps delete and reprogram it? Could be batteries but the button batteries used by all the TPMS manufacturers use Lithium batteries. Mine have lasted for 4+ years and still working. On the ones (s) that seem to be slow coming on line take the monitor to each tire and unscrew the sensor. You should immediately get an alarm. Screw it back on and it should immediately connect to silence alarm.

You're right but after 2 hours of trying to find them, I wasn't going to spend any more time looking so went with the first Prime option I saw. They're Batteries! It shouldn't be that difficult.

Save these links for the next time you need 1632 batteries:

I called EEZ TPMS support today. I was told the reason it took so long to connect to the sensors is because I began driving before the sensors connected to the monitor. I had a lot of RF interference going on is what I was told. Had I waited for connection of all of the sensors before starting on my way, it would have been the usual amount of time. I'm going to replace the batteries anyway so I know they're fresh. Thought I would share this info in case someone else has an issue in the future.

That makes sense. I have the TST system and if I start the truck up and take off before the sensors come on line, they take longer to show up.

I have seens sensors suddenly pop a real strange readign then return to normal as a semi passed me..

Theory.> Same frequency sensors (Likely same make and ESN there are only so many ESNs (Electronic serial number)

YOu may have been near another user of the same system.

I also put out between 0.030 watts (As I type) and 100 watts on assorted frequencies depending on which of my 2-way radios is live at the moment. Some of these can take out your TPMS I suspect... (Lack of proper selectivity in teh tpms with the power levels I use in that range (0.03 to 0.1 watt)

I ordered 4 batteries from Amazon for $10.20 I spent the better part of 2 hours driving around from store to store trying to find CR1632 batteries. Even my local Walmart that I hate going to doesn't carry that size.
