Default Tpms

hello everyone,

my TPMS warning came on even though my tires are properly inflated. It indicates my front tire left has an issue but when I performed the steps for the reset found on this forum, I have 3 tires with the warning now.

any idea what is going on?

What pressure are the tires at? The colder weather this morning would cause a drop in tire pressure which means you just have to get them topped up most likely.

Doesn't the indicator tell you the pressure of each tire? I think <30 psi will trigger the light.

Uh...rather than just resetting, did you check the tire pressure in that tire and make sure it's at the right pressure and make sure it's not punctured or leaking? Like wtf...

I had the light in my RX the other day - presumed it was the cold weather until I saw that one tire was down to 24 psi. Nail.

When you say TWO lights, do you mean the individual wheel indicators which go yellow when PSI drops below a certain point? There's only ONE tire pressure warning light to my knowledge.

yes the individual wheel indicators is what i meant.

even with the pressure being raised, they remain yellow.

I had the same issue recently and had to raise the pressure higher than 32. I ended up with 36 and the light went off. The pressures vary during the day and with running time heat builds up. My car was delivered with the tires set at 42 from the dealer so I'm not worried at 36, it seems to ride better anyway.

Also if you have 17" tires you'll need more than 35psi.

my lights actually disappeared today even though the pressure indicates the same as yesterday and even with a temp drop in Canada.
