HELP-TPM shows "req:"

Hi guys, Need some help here! The TPM on my 997 GTS shows "req:" on the left side of its picture this evening and I have no clue about how to make it go away. I noticed some threads talked about this few years back but not really deal with it, can anyone help me out? Thanks!

It probably means "requesting" and that implies that your TPMS sensors on the "req" sides are shot. I have the same on my car. I will replace them when I change the tires.

With an 06 your TPMS batteries may be approaching their useful life - surprised if that's the case on a new GTS...but could be a bad sensor.
