Hi all,
I have a 2019 Ascent Limited. When it came time for new tires I put on all weather tires from/at the dealership. All was good until I got my second set of the same tires. Some time after I goth them, I would drive about 5 miles the light would come on. I checked the pressures. One was high (50) so I brought it down. I had just had a tire rotation and oil change done. After not getting the light to stay off long, I brought it to the dealership. After a long day they said one sensor was bad and they replaced it.
About 2 weeks later I got a warning. Tires were around 30, warm so I brought them up to 37 (warm pressure) lights went off after a day. A few days later they were back, but all dashes. I was away so I didn't bring car in. A few days later dashes went away and just warning light is on, no dashes any more. The warning light now never goes off. Any ideas?? Thanks for your time and help!

I have a 2019 Ascent with 84k on it, have the Subaru Gold Plus coverage good for 8 years or 100k miles. I was having this problem with my TPMS, one tire, right front would not display pressure after a few minutes it would finally display, then a few minutes later full tpms would stop working and orange tire icon would appear on screen with message to check manual. I was due for oil change so I took it in and reported the problem to dealer. They checked it out determined I needed to replace module in right front tire, they covered it under the warranty. Would be nice if the others would fail before the warranty runs out at 100k, will just have to wait and see.

I also have a 2019 Ascent. Recently, the TPS light came on even though the four tires were all at normal pressure. It turns out the problem was the spare tire, which was only at 20 psig. Once I fixed the spare, the TPS light did not come back on. This might not be your problem, but I never thought to check the spare until someone mentioned it.
