Tpms light on
Today, When I hopped into my car and started it, I found that my tpms light is on. My car was sitting outside all night. The day before, I went for a really long drive but there was no tpms light on.
I checked the pressure and all my tires are at 32 psi. I checked for nails etc and there was nothing. My rear tires are bald they’re holding pressure just fine. Is there any other cause for that light to come on? Oem tires and rims. It’s a 2013. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Try 36 psi?
Other than that, it could just be a failed sensor. Uncommon but shit happens. You might need to take a trip to the dealer or a tire shop.

If at 32 PSI one of them may be right at the edge of being low. When the tempurature drops overnight they can go just below the trigger point even though a guage still reads OK. Put a little air in the.
STOP driving around in temperatures under 7 degrees with bald rear tires. Even with tread they are bad at low temperatures. You next thread could be "Is this totaled?"

As I said above it comes on because your tire pressure is right on the edge of the trigger and when the air cools it drops just enough to set off the TPMS. It isn't just the cold it is a combination of pressure and the cold.
