Staying off in the summer and coming on as soon as the temperature drops And being a &*%$$# pain in my ass???? What's been the most common fix? What's been the most common fix?

Putting more air in the tire when the TPM system alerts that air pressure is low has been the common "fix" most owners use if the issue is ambient air temperature related. Unless they have another issue like a failing battery in one of the sensors or a cracked/bent wheel or tire that has a leak...a drop in ambient temperature can affect tire pressure. It’s simple sciencetific gobbledegook that I won't even attempt to explain. :)

Time to change out the summer air for winter air..

Some mechanics run a special on this around this time of year..
May be able to get a deal if you bundle the blinker fluid replacement..

:dunno:

Tires loose about 1psi per 10° F. What are the pressure readings when the light came on?

Most cars have a reset procedure to calibrate the pressure when full, I don't have on my car but check the manual.

Challenged?

Carpentry nail in between the threads... undetected.

*UPDATE*
Carpentry nail in between the treads... undetected because you couldn't see it...

A) What OTHER kinds of ‘nails’ are there?

B) Always thought the TPM system detected low AIR pressure. First Ive heard it senses nails....

;)

There's only one type of nail used for everything in the world [emoji289] one size NOT! :-)

Carpentry nail as in finishing nail: no head hardly [so as to be hidden below surface and then covered] with wood putty and then painted over[hidden]

This is why it went unnoticed. Not only did it have such a small head, but it was in between the treads of an 8/32 tire...
You couldn't see it.
I told the shop to take the tire off and check everything before I spend upto $300 for a Continental run flat...

Unless you still could see the head of the finish nail, it's quite likely the head was just worn off. Several times I've found a nail or screw that no longer had a head.
