Hey guys, today my low pressure tire warning light suddenly turned on and when i got home i was checking if i got a flat tire or anything but all my tires seemed pretty fat and chubby nothing seem to be wrong but the warning light remained on, and i tried turning the car on and off to see if it will turns off but it's still on...

Does anyone exp'ed this before? Or know a way to turn the darn light back off D:?

:werd: my light came on twice in 1 month because the weather temp dropped from hot to cold weather. and all 4 tires were low when i checked it

Big temperature variations trigger the sensor

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I actually took mine to the dealership (right next to my school) cause I thought the light was messed up or something.

When I first bought my AC, that darn TPMS light came on all the time and I thought it was going to be nuthin but a pain in the a**! However, I have learned that certain things, such as drastic changes in the temp can let air out of your skins.....a couple of weeks ago the light came on on my way to work at 5 am and 36 degrees out. Day temps were in the 60-70s.....waited a day to see if the light would go back out, it didn't so I took the car to my tire guys (I did check pressure with a gauge and it indicated they were down a bit) and low and behold, all 4 tires lost a bit a nitro.....aired them back up, drove off and 10 min later the light went off. Everytime the light comes on, it has come on for a reason.....I'm a believer in the TPMS now....

Believe it or not mine came on during a hot summer day, pulled over to check tire pressure and 2 were higher. I let air out of those 2 tires and the sensor light went off within 2 minutes. Checked pressure again next morning and all 4 tires read the same, sensor never came on again. Next time I went to dealer I asked them if the sensor comes on if the pressure got to high and they said yes.
