Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
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.

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.

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

patching cost $25-35.
so don't worry. unless the puncture is on the sidewall, then you are SOL

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

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...

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

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.

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

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.
