Default low tire warning wont clear

i keep having problem with the low tire warning keep poping up in cold weather, checked tire pressure 35 front 37 rear, doesnt clear it (try reset it-hold the button for 3 sec and the pressure initial come up and low tire warning still there after). Bring it to dealer, they said i didnt initial it, fine. 1 week later pop up again in 1 of the cold weather day and stay there when temp went back up. check tire pressure = good. tryin reset it again, dont work


do i do something wrong to reset the pressure tire ( just go to the tire pressure and hold on button for 3 sec to reset it)?

or there is more procedure to the process

help plz

when are you guys gonna understand that there is no sensor in the spare tire you probably have a nail in a tire that is letting the air out very slowly, check all your tires

have the dealer reset the TPMS, also that happens when its time to replace your tires, according to the tech guys high performance tire flucuate with the air pressure once the thread life really begins to wear, so in the morning when its cold the TPMS light may come on, but in the afternoon, the tires heat up and the air expands, the TPMS light will go off. Get Discount tire or someone to check for leaks, you may need new tires, i dealt with the same thing once it was time to change my tires out, my TPMS came on every morning and i constantly checked the air pressure. BTW the spare tire has nothing to do with TPMS, my common sense is telling there's no sensor in there but I may be wrong, but I really doubt it!
