Read full discussion summary

Leading evidence: 'Replace actuator and switches, are you referring' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'receiver' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace (location)' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

I have thrown over 1K at this issue and believe the problem is the receiver under the front hood.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link

It blanks out and resets and for the last few years, reads a RF as a RR (but reverts back to normal occasionally) and the left side is normal.

POST 1Original post

My 2007 cayman TPS goes off line while driving. It comes back on its own. I also still can’t open my Frunk after replacing actuator and indoor switches. My tester seems unable to detect the problem. The tester said it tested good also. Anyone help please

POST 2Original post

The usual first guess when weird problems like this appear is the battery . Have a look at how old yours is, and have it checked.

POST 3Original post

When you say you replaced the actuator and switches, are you referring to the door sill switch, and also, which actuator did you replace, (location). Tester indicates it’s good? Need more details on your method, what you tested for (12 volts, ground, continuity?) and what was tested and what the results were. I love troubleshooting these kinds of things, maybe with more background we can figure this out. I did a modification on my frunk release, adding a backup failsafe in the event of a dead battery , so I may be able to assist.

POST 4Original post

Our TPS systems are sensitive to outside interference from other devices transmitting on the same 433 mhz frequency. I'm in Florida and regularly, when a county owned vehicle gets close to mine while driving down the road, the TPS systems goes blank. It comes back within a mile or two. Another place it happens is one of our local fire stations. More often than not, every time I drive by the same thing happens. It appears that the county has some kind of transmitting devices that my car picks up when close enough and the TPS goes blank. I've also had it happen when I haven't been able to identify a reason but suspect something similar. It happens regularly and even with a new battery and new TPS sensors. It's just the way it is, at least on the 987.1s. Oh and by the way, it never happens on my wife's Acura , but then I have no idea how Acura 's work or transmit. Go figure.

POST 6Original post

my experience with the 987.1 CS TPMS has been a history of gremlins in the system. It blanks out and resets and for the last few years, reads a RF as a RR (but reverts back to normal occasionally) and the left side is normal. I have thrown over 1K at this issue and believe the problem is the receiver under the front hood. since i get the pressure readings, i really don't care if i have a dash warning. as to the front hood locked, there is the cable pull in the front wheel well to open the frunk ( well documented) I have had 3 or 4 dead batteries on this cayman and never had any issue on the startup.. plug and play good luck
