TPMS IN COLD WEATHER
 

anyone ever had their tpms light come on in cold weather?

Yes, because you lose air in your tires w/cold weather. Check your tire pressure and I'm guessing you're low. I had to put air in my tires with our first bit of cold weather

When hot your tire pressure goes up. When cold it goes down. If you start off low in tire pressure it might set off the tpms when it gets cold out.

California cold? Insert large LOL here. :)

Another reason I'm happy my car doesn't have TPMS. Forces me to always keep an eye on proper PSI in all temps.

You don't lose air when the temp drops. The air in your tires loses energy. All the air molecules vibrating around inside a tire is essentially what creates the pressure. As the temperature drops, the molecules vibrate less thus exerting less pressure on the tire.

Yup and I always have to go to the dealer to get nitro

Ahhhhhh............yep, whatever happened to ...... oh, never mind ..... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...ages/rant2.gif

Happened to me when the first cold front came through earlier this month.

Being older too l know what you're thinking... ;)

This is technology not working.

The technology works fine, it's the loose nut behind the wheel that's the problem.

Why ? My tires were nitrogen filled when I got the car.. The dealer told me I should have the tire pressure checked at the dealers cause of the special fill..
I told him I will stick with normal "air" since it already contains about 80%
Nitrogen. Such a rip.. Do all the scions come with nitro filled tires.. Or was this just
My dealerships rip off tactic?
