Out of the blue I got a TPMS warning yesterday with a B2872 in the SJB. I looked at all the tire pressures with a manual gauge and with the code scanner and they're fine. The tool shows that a discrepancy between the SJB and two of the tire pressure sensors. During subsequent driving the fault comes and goes.

So I figured no big deal, I'll just re-train the sensors and solve the problem.

Later in the day I noticed my Remote Keyless Entry range is now very poor. Instead of the normal 20-30 meter range when approaching or leaving the vehicle it's down to maybe 7-8 meters which is pretty annoying.

Any similar experiences? I am now suspecting the SJB receiver has lost it's mojo and isn't doing a good job seeing the TPMS transmitters or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
