Anyone else in the Northeast or where it's cold as hell having their tire inflation warning indicator lamp coming on? Mine just came on yesterday and i'm pretty certain its coming on because it's 6 degrees here.

Stupid northeast weather!

 

Did you check the pressure to confirm?

You've been a member for a couple years and only have 6 posts

 

In really cold weather like we're having up here right now your not going to get an accurate pressure rating.

Yea i'm not much of a poster. I browse the forum for the most part and ask questions and put my input in when necessary.

 

that was a good one lol

 

Tire pressure will drop in cold temps. I believe it's like 1 lb per 10 degrees or something like that...

 

ya usually its the cold weather that makes the tire psi light come on...we get alot of ppl that come in bcuzz their light is on and when we check the tire psi its usually at 28 or 29psi

 

aha! siiiit i didnt even know we had this!

if you bought a vehicles after september 2007 it's equiped with TPMS(tire pressure monitoring system)

bought mine in 11/06 doesn't come with it...

 

mine came on when the temp went from 70 at night to 30 (south florida)

checked pressure. was at 26psi all the way around. filled them back to 32 and everything has been fine.

 

I was told not to adjust the pressure because of the cold weather having an affect on it. The temperature up here climbed back up into the high 50's and since then the light has come off, atleast until the cold weather makes it's return.

 

ahhh thanks for the info holmes!
