I left the country for 30 days, so disconnected the car’s battery. When I reconnected, the tire-pressure gauge didn’t work, and hasn’t worked since. Same story with my 2010 Corolla.

The tire sensors probably need relearned. A tire dealer can do this for you. There are methods on-line that give DIYers instructions how to do it, but I don’t think it’s expensive to have it done.

The batteries in the tire pressure sensors are probably dead, 10 years is about the life expectancy for the transmitters/sensors.
