Thanks for the help.

I don't see signs of damage, but air is pouring out when the cap is off. I'll look for a tool and go that route first.

Sounds like the valve core is out or loose. :-[

If you have to replace the core valve cores come in different lengths.

Replaced the core and that seemed to solve the leak - no sign of a leak - until this morning and the tire was flat again.

I'll remove the core and try again. I was told not to over tighten the core when its replaced so maybe I need to snug it a bit more.

Thanks

....man I love the cog forum....  used the C clamp method for replacing the tpms batteries.  Worked like a charm.  Bought the pre tabbed batteries from digi something, bent the tabs to slide right into the whole vacated by the old battery, and soldered them up, eezy peezy..

 Word of caution tho, pay attention to the orientation of the tpms when u reinstall it.  It is direction specific and wont work if put in 180 degrees off.  Dont ask how I know, but it was very satisfying doing the rear tire twice, and hearing the bead snap back on the rim.

That hasn't been the case with mine. ...nor does the Service Manual think it's important.

Install the sensor position parallel to the rim line in either direction.
