So my tpms light keeps coming on and back off. When off it reads all 4 tires when on it doesn't read any of them. Is it a module somewhere? Thanks

No module, but I'll bet you'll find the TPMS batteries are going bad. My 2010 would do the exact same thing replaced the TPMS, and all was well after that. 12 years is a long time for the batteries to retain a charge for the TPMS.

I agree with @Spade1952, I would start with the TPMS batteries.

Our 2010 was loosing 1 sensor and then 2 sensors. It's 13 years old, so I took it in to get all 4 replaced. It has 240k on it. We sent it to the transmision shop for a replacement and then I stopped at Jensen Tire, they had a buy 3 at $75 and get one free deal. It works great now. 5k on the new engine, 1k on the new transmission, and our 14 year old driving to school daily. I looked at comparable vehicles with 40-50k miles that were $16k. We already had put the engine in when it was my wife's daily driver, so another $4k for the tranny was a better investment then a different vehicle.

As others have stated more than likely TPMS sensors are going. Had this happen on my 09 G8, for a few weeks they would all disappear, then a day or two come back, then finally went off for good. Needed new tires and had the TPMS sensors replaced at the same time and all is back to normal.

I have had it where there are no TPMS readings. . . . just - - showing.
Then it comes back usually after a restart.

I'm thinking that is just a break in communication somewhere in my case.

But, yes, if one stops reading and then comes back, usually the battery is going.
They only last for 10 years or so max. Sometimes even less.

Interesting. I've never had a glitch on my readings, and that's what's on my display every day, all day long.
I notice it particularly as my wife's '22 Santa Fe will only display after you drive for a bit (I drive her car when we go out once or twice every weekend and check things then), mine is displayed from start to stop.
