TPMS, advice

Hey guys, I was headed to work this morning and my TPMS turns on. I have less than 3k miles on my car so I\'m wondering why this would happen so I just reset the system. I check my tires and they seem fine, I\'ll check the pressure when I\'m off but anyone else have this happen to them?

Can you be more specific? Did it mention a low tire pressure and the specific wheel, or did a TPMS error code manifest? The reason I ask is because there is a difference between low pressure warning and TPMS error.

I believe it state low pressure, does the cold weather effect that?

yes 10 degrees will affect 1 psi. Not where you live though. Most likely it was an error of the sensor or transmitter. Just keep an eye on it. If it happens again, you may have to have the TMPS sensors checked by the dealer. This is very easy to do.
