Colder air also takes up less volume relative to warmer air, therefore exerting less outward pressure. So, if you haven't aired up since July, it's entirely possible that the lower temperatures alone can cause this light to come on.
Yeah, this is the actual joke here haha.
We get it when we switch over to winter tires and never installed the tpms in the other wheels.
It’s there all winter, and ignored. If cold air is enough to set off the low pressure warning, your tires were already really low in July. Or you have a leak.
On some cars the traction control is disabled if the tpms light is on so it might not be a great idea to ignore it all winter. TPMS sensors aren’t that expensive.
Not 10 year old Subarus!
Actually I turn of TC lots in the snow to have a little fun without the Nannies, but it works fine with my snow tires which still don’t have tpms in them like the summer ones.
Fair enough. But I just meant in general for anyone else reading this.
