Default Tire pressure gauge not working (one tire)

I have 800 miles on my Z. Driving on the freeway yesterday, my tire pressure warning came on....I went to the page on the gauge that shows tire pressure and one of the front tires indicates "-------", while the others are all showing appropriate tire pressure. I assume that means it is not getting the signal from that tire?? I had never looked at the tire pressure indicator before, so I don't know if this is a new condition, or if it was delivered this way.

WHen at the dealer all marked ---- because they activate when running over 35mph I think.

On the way home the warning came on.

This is an infrared setup. The receiver behind the dash has to be programmed to get the signal from the sending unit in the tires. The dealer should be able to fix it in a few minutes.

Actually it's a radio frequency device, infra red can't transmit through opaque objects (like tires and fenders).

This has to be a new problem for Scott T or he would have got the warning before. Nothing you can do about it, probably need a new sending unit. See your friendly dealer.
