I wonder if there’s a dashboard warning for a tpms battery failure?
On our Camrys the TPMS light will blink for approx. 1 min. (I think) then remain lit vs. just lighting up as with pressure loss. I know my 2013 Camry needs at least 1battery, but I don’t need tires yet so I just old school it. You know actually physically checking the tire pressures.

When one of the batteries failed on my Corolla, the low tire indicator came on. I don’t see why something similar wouldn’t happen in this case.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system
is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly
