Actually, you're wrong. Do some research.

I use an analog because I don't want to rely on a battery, but I did my research when purchasing and digital gauges are on the whole more accurate.

I know for a fact I still have all my sensors. Guess the batteries are dead?

Battery could be dead, or sensor could just need to be reset or re-registered to the computer in the car. The expected life span of the battery is 7 years so we ought to start seeing them fail on lot of 03 cars.

I just purchased a 2003 Performance model this past week, and I am having this issue as well. When I first start driving, a reading is provided for each tire. Then, after 30-45 mins of driving my orange tire pressure light comes on with no beep. When I check the display I notice that my right rear tire has "--" for the pressure.

I assumed this to mean the sensor is faulty, and possibly may have a dying battery. Do you know if these batteries are replaceable, or if I will need to order a new set of sensors?

Also, I am absolutely in love with this car!

Battery is not replaceable, the lone sensor must be replaced. Check the Marketplace forum here, somebody is always selling them. You can buy 4 here for less than a dealer would sell you one. Get a tire shop to replace it and the dealer to reprogram it and you'll be good.

Thanks! I will likely get used to the light, and wait until I need to replace my tires and replace all 4 four sensors just in case. I have gone many years without knowing the exact pressure in each tire at any given moment while driving, and I think I can bare another little bit .
