Tire Pressure Sensor

I immediately went to the gas station and inflated the tires to the correct tire pressure. All for of my tires were a tad bit low. So I am gonna wait till the morning and check the tires.

Note: I have 18s on my Camry w/ 215/35/18s tires that I've been running for about a month now. Had the car since July and only have 2,800 miles.

I am gonna wait it out and give it a few days. If the light does not go out I'm gonna call the dealership.

Don't use a two bit pressure gauge!!!!!!!!

The light still stays on. It stays like that for a day or two, but I made sure that there was no nails or anything.

I ended up just driving on the highway and giving it some time, and it went away after a day or two.

this was my experience too. the outside temp gauge showed 41F when the light went on, then it didn't go off til it hit 58F many miles and warmer area later.

I had mine go off the other day, checked the pressure of the tires and they were all around 22 psi (yikes), fired up the compressor and got them all back to 30 psi, the light stayed on for maybe a minute after driving, hasn't come on since. Just the cold weather reducing the pressure.

The cold weather from Florida reduce that much psi?
Just make sure your car has been park at least 3 hours before you check to add or minus air pressure. When you car is moving, your PSI wil not give accurate reading because of the frictions the air created when your tires is rolling around.

Could have been the temp change but then again I hadn't checked the pressure in a while so I can't totally blame the weather change. I'm about an hour north of Tampa which can make for up to 10 degrees different from Tampa's lows, hilly area believe it or not. I made sure to top them off first thing in the morning so the tires didn't have any heat to them. You should have seen the look on my face when I found out they were only at 22 psi, kinda looked like this

Ok here are a couple of things that can cause the sensor to light up.Do you have good valve stem caps on your stems. The cap should have a rubber washer inside the cap which seals the stem tight. Another thing is where you get your air at it may be wet air they have no dryer on the line and allot of moisture gets inside your tires. This is a common problem wet conditions (rain)and sensitive electronic insturments. also freezing conditions can cause a fault. Seal the stems find a place with dry air and that may cure the problem if its not an electrical problem.

On my camry LE 2007, the are no sensors in the wheels anymore. So the orange warning light in my dashbord contstandly lights up.
Is it possible the shut this down ?
