So, this morning I came out to a flat on my '13 LTZ. I must have picked up the screw within 1/4 mile of home, as it had little wear on it.

I jacked that corner up so there was no weight on the tire, then started the truck to see what the TPMS said, but it read that tire only 1 psi lower than the others.

Even after I left the wheel & tire at the shop and drove well out of range, it still showed pressure in the tire (albeit now 4 psi lower than the others).

What's going on here?

Thanks,
Scrappy

Sounds like a dead or faulty sensor?

If you have one of those handheld sensor reprogrammer tools, you can go around each tire and check the status of each sensor.
