Default Tire Pressure sensor...

I just got my tires changed recently with brand new tires....a couple of days after i got the tires replaced, i got a low tire pressure warning. i pumped more air into the tire. a week after that i got the warning again... now its been 3 weeks since i pumped air, and i just got the warning again! Anyone think i got a hole in my tires? or, is this Bipolar @ss weather messing with my sensors? the warning light seems to come up on a colder day...

It did that to me once when it was really cold out and sent me a TPMS warning.
Didn't have time to fill it up so i left it. Sun came out it went away.

Where did you get the tires installed? I hope they took off the TPMS before they dismounted your old tire. They may have damaged it.

Your time would be better spent getting your tires and wheels checked instead of asking people on the internet who have never seen your tires whether something is wrong with them. I'd get them checked - the temperature should not be causing the TPMS to go off if they weren't already low an air to begin with. Good luck!

check all four tires, and get all 4 tires to the same PSI. (remember/note down the PSI number)
then check them again when the sensor display again.
if one of them get different (lower) PSI number than previously noted down then you would know which one is leaking air etc...

You should take a big bucket with soapy water and submerge the tire and rim. This would eliminate if the tire has any leaks. If it doesnt show a leak, the people that changed your tires owe you a sensor.

go to the menu on your onboard computer, the one in between your rpm and speedometer, and make sure the setting is set on main instead of 2nd..regarding wheels
