TPMS failures
We hear constantly about the wonders of TPMS systems . Anyone ever have a failure ?

OK, the MANUAL states, "The SENSORS take a reading for temp and pressure every 6 seconds, but only transmit the LATEST reading every 5 minutes." The Web Site FAQ states, " The readings are sent every two minutes, except if a low pressure, fast pressure change or high temp reading occurs, then it transmits the data instantly. So which is it?
The fast leak mode that detects pressure drops of at least 6 PSI lower than the low pressure setting, transmits that data immediately. That would seem to indicate that it would detect a blowout in semi real time.
I searched and found the other 6 page thread on the TST system. That thread is more about the loss of the sensor connection to the monitor and that taking an hour to report to the user. So far no solution to that has been presented. I guess I will hold off and research more before buying.
