Default TPMS issue

Do any of you get a low tire pressure warning light even though all the tire pressure show as being fine?






Annoying that warning light comes on and it high lights tire pressure in yellow even though the tire it high lights actually has more psi than some of the other tires.

Could be because the car is not consistently communicating with the sensor in that tire.

I ran into that problem during the winter but I had a slow leak in the tire and I chalked it up to that being the reason why it happened. Your issue seems to jump different tires so I'm not really sure now. I did notice that it would go away after the tires heated up(15-20mins of driving)

Why is your tire pressure so low?

It is obvious that your car needs a good cleaning too...

Even if that's the case why would it show up on just one tire and one tire that happens to have higher pressure than then others?

Just go by a tire store (e.g. Discount Tire) and have them inflate all four tires to 36-37psi...(based on the almost certain likelihood that your tires will be warm when you add the air and likely 1-3psi over the 'cold' pressure they would have after sitting overnight). See what happens after you bring the tire pressure up to what it should be.

Isn't there a way to reset the sensors?
