Fill up your tires with nitrogen and you wont have this problem anymore. Nitrogen improves the life of your tires and doesnt require refills.

^ that's not true at all. Nitrogen is the biggest scam I think to hit the auto world lately. I hope everyone remembers that atmospheric air is about 78% nitrogen anyway...the only thing the nitrogen does is it is less temperature sensitive, but that's hardly an issue with passenger cars. Race cars/race motorcycles are a bit different but still, not a big deal. Also they use it in airplane tires (when they can) because of the huge temp swings.

If your tires leak at all or the valves leak at all (whcih is normal, you generally need to add air every few months) the nitrogen won't change that a bit. Instead, you'll just be paying $10/tire to fill them and then people think they need to 'change' the air if they can't get nitrogen.

Back to OP, obviously check air pressure, but speed and time will increase pressure, not decrease it, so that doesn't make a lot of sense. Only other thing I can think of is maybe the battery is going bad and at speed the sensor has a harder time reading it? Is the system wheel specific? If so, try a quick rotate and see if the issue moves. If not, then it's more likely an issue with that sensor in the wheel well.

Answer:
The vehicle uses speed sensors to read tire revs. At higher speeds the difference between 2-3 psi right versus left tire, front versus rear tires will trigger the alert. Lower speeds may not trigger the delta difference. Warm tires expand, colder tires do not.

Double check the tires, make sure they are within 1 PSI of each other, reset the tire alert system, and drive. The proceedure is on the forum in multiple postings. Also in the owners manual. My took two attempts at resets.
Edit: Check tires first thing in the AM when they are STONE COLD.

In my experince, the system on the 4.8is (big tires) is more susceptible to alert triggers on small psi differences between the tires.

Buy a professional tire gauge (0-60 psi) instead of a pencil gauge that uses friction vs psi to display PSI. I have all the above and see a 1-2 psi difference between new.

Now back to the discussion on what air mix is inside the tires......

If the fault keeps coming back try pulling it loose (both ends) and cleaning it as it could be one is loosing it's signal due to age, dirt, poor connection, or just getting weak.
The above is one SUGGESTED approach to the issue. The other would be to reset (re-learn) the tire monitor system a few times to the tire's (hight).

My own 4.8is did the same thing. Only on trips beyond 30 miles at speeds above 65. Reset twice issue resolved.

Your experiences maybe the same or ....

My pleasure....

Good luck, as that light always makes me jump when it pops on.
