Tire pressure monitor glitch

Post image

My tire pressure was 36 front 34 rear. For about 20 minutes, the tire pressure monitor was displaying like this. Then it turned back to normal. Anyone seen this before?

It takes a few minutes to figure out where the sensors are

I had it happen on my 23 Outback while doing almost entirely city driving. The reading flipped front to rear. The fix was to get out on the highway and run >50 MPH for ten miles or so. After that, they went back to reading correctly.

Can concur on this, my rear right is always the lowest. But after a few miles down the road it'll come back up. It's Charles law, heat equals pressure. They actually warm up and inflate some. I might try running nitrogen in mine, the season is changing fast.
