TPMS acting "Strange"

Hello all,

I purchased some BERU (OEM) TPMS for my HREs and discovered something strange the other day. My TPMS has been going off every couple of weeks indicating the rear right tire was low. I bent this tire awhile back. Long story short, I thought the bent rim is leaking air even though the tire shop has not been able to find leakage. I sent the rim back to HRE to have both barrells replaced. Rim is basically brand new now. TPMS is still coming on. I checked the air and it is showing 35 PSI. One day, I decided to check all four tires. I discovered the left rear was very low, like at around 15 PSI. After I filled this tire with air, the TPSM is back to ok. The TPSM is picking up the low air from the rear left but indicating rear right is low on my I-Drive screen. I have not seen this on my OEM set. I don't know if this has to do with the BERU TPMS or my car since my OEM has never had a flat. Anyone else experienced this? What do you guys/gals think could be causing this "strange" occurance?

Thanks.
