Thanks , the above was my problem I was not waiting long enough, took about 10 minutes to get two of them going then another 5 are so the third one started and few minutes later all four showed me the pressure and temperature , good group on here and can always get good advice>< Thanks all

Same with us - took almost 15 - 25 minutes. First we thought something was wrong but we watched as the monitor just kept circulating picking up pressure and temps as it went around.

I've noticed the same thing, but not 1/2 hr wait. Maybe 5 minutes for all of them to show up.

Another real-life situation: My TST monitor originally worked fine. Then I mounted a GPS receiver near the TST monitor and lost the data for a couple of the wheels. I deployed the external antenna that came with the receiver, placing it a few feet away from the GPS, and all works reliably again.

All I get is the blinking tires, should I be getting tire pressure on my screen??is there a way to get it?

I just installed mine this weekend. My first thought is: did you properly identify each sensor before you installed it, according to the directions? With all the sensors several feet away from the monitor you need to bring each sensor, in turn, close to the monitor and press a button to allow the monitor to correctly identify that sensor. It will show a 6 digit ID number when it is identified. Once that is done, you install each sensor in the correct position. When I installed each of my sensors I had the monitor up on the dash and by the time I screwed the sensor onto the stem and tightened the set screw (the so-called "locking device"), and got back to the dash it was displaying the pressure and temperature of that tire.

I do notice that when I power up the monitor it can take up to 1/2 hour for it to recognize all the sensors.

The blinking means the monitor is not getting info from that sensor. As noted above, you may need a signal repeater also from TST.

TST owner here and like others said, they just need to be snug. No need to over tighten.

Just snug, too tight and you will cut up the little rubber gasket in the sensor. :)

I found after 6 yrs. of using the TST sensor, placing 1 drop of blue locktite on the treads of the stem before installing, then tighten normally, assured of no loosening. I also took a soapy rag and checked for leaks beteen the sensor and stem after install.
