so as you guys know, tonight is fuckin cold right. Anyways i was driving just a few minutes ago and my low tire pressure warning light turned on. I kinda paniced and read some stuff online that says sometimes low temperatures can cause this. Is it true? i drove my car earlier today and it was perfectly fine.

[Dinan3]

What car?

[LemonH2O]

Temperature changes can cause the tires to lose a couple PSI's. Just double check your pressures, including your spare depending on what car it is.

For example, all new Toyotas have insanely sensitive sensors, it will turn on even if it drops a couple PSI's, or simply 1 tire is off by a couple than the others. It'll turn itself off when all the PSI's are even.

[roastpuff]

And check pressure anyways. It shouldn't drop that much, especially when driving.

[boatcaptain]

thats y u shud check your tire pressure b4 driving the car because hot air expand so the reading will b off by a bit

[blackk]

What car?

04 g35.


yeah i just finished defrosting my car etc than i drove for liek 3 minutes and bam, the light turned on and made this noise. scared the shit out of me LOL ill see how it is tmr when its warmer. if not than ill have to get it checked out just incase

[TRDood]

everytime when my TPMS is on, i ran over a nail or a screw.. so just check that.

[!Aznboi128]

off topic, but tonight's pretty cold, anyone thinking about changing to winters yet?

fuck thats exactly what i was worried about LOL i was on nanaimo and hastings so yeah.. if that happens im gonna be so fucked cause my tires are expensiveeee.

offtopic: yeah it is fuckin cold but i dunno about switching to winters yet

[TRDood]

patching cost $25-35.

so don't worry. unless the puncture is on the sidewall, then you are SOL

[blackk]

haha cool thanks alot for the advice, ill see if the tire pressure light is gone tmr and if not ill bring it in to get a check. is ur Matrix a XR btw?

[Hakkaboy]

ummmm...why don't you just check the tire pressure????

shouldn't that be the first thing you should do? even if you don't have a tire pressure guage, just go to chevron, they don't charge for air and there's at least a guage built in

too soon junior

[shantz]

be sure and check your spare too - the TPMS is also usually calibrated for this.

Low temps cause this by reducing the tires pressure ,so as most have already said,check your pressures.If the light hasn't gone off you are driving around with improper psi and will cause premature tire wear ,lower fuel economy etc...

[ilvtofu]

Does your car say what the cold tire pressure should be? Because my car does, if so check to see if it's too low,

And yeah it's too soon for winters

he is black , so chances are he has chromes. therefore he's a baller, meaning he does not patch ;)

[Leopold Stotch]

i have a g35 too and the light came on once. When the light comes on though, it's normally quite low in pressure.

just check them, it's not a big deal. put them to 35psi.

don't panic when the light stays on, because it takes a bit of driving to reconfigure.

[aspenwrx]

causing TPMS light stay on means your pressure is below 25% of manafactory specific pressure. Must have flat

[k20a]

lol, Make sure you know if your car has "TPMS" and/or "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" which is a ( ! ). Some cars have both, and TPMS light is a way more serious issue than LOW TIRE PRESSURE.

[Nightwalker]

Low Tire Pressure Warning Light comes on:

A) Check your tire pressure
B) Post about it on the internet

[Pocakj]

laang suk yeet jeung.

lol

LMFAO no no they're not chromes, they're black rims :D

precisely LOL

anyways i was due for a oil change tmr so ill just get it all done at once, thanks everyone for your input. I just hope its not a flat ugh

[!Aznboi128]

too soon junior
lol thanks
I was at Fountain tire today and they said they already ran out of most snow tires...

only if your going to whistler.

[The_AK]

speaking of winter, are we allowed to put chains on our tires when it snows?

[GordonTse]

g35 should be at 35psi cold. for all nissan vehicles with TPMS, the light comes on at 5psi below the spec or at 28psi(one or the other). i work at nissan btw.

only if theres snow on the road

i wish mine were more sensitive.

one of my tires was like 20 psi before the light came on, and i check them weekly.


but what you said, sounds about right.

[moomooCow]

Isn't it actually dependant on the time? Only like Nov to Jan or something like that. . . i think . . .

[orange7]

cold temperature -> air in tires moves slower, thus air molecules don't hit the inside surface area of the tire as hard -> tire pressure decreases


or

kinetic energy decreases
