I'm getting tired of the low tire pressure every morning!!
 
how do i fix this besides resetting it??? i know its the cold weather

Put air in when the tire's cold so when it's back to cold it won't give you a warning.

You could have your tires filled with nitrogen...

That's what my service rep told me to do. Didn't happen with the 19" OEMs on my 2004 sports, but frequent with the 20" OEMs on the 2008 sport.

Put in air when the tires are cold, maybe use a portable home pump, so you don't even have to drive to the gas station, if the station is far. Then reset the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), it should stop showing the warning.

Couple of things - one check that there is no nail or other debris in the tire possibly creating a slight leak. Easiest way is to take car washing liquid on a sponge and wipe it across the tire.. ideally off the car.. .but if not able, then just around it while on the vehicle.

If you see no bubbles or no issues, then it must be one tire that is off creating the issue. The system I believes looks for a differential in pressure against all other sensors. Hence, if one is low.. you'll get the warning. If all deflate the same amount, can't see how its setting the warning message.
