PSI message for tires
PSI message for tires
Lately since it's been getting very frigid outside my info message about my tire pressure keeps going off. It states that all tires have 29psi and I'm sorta confused as to why this keeps going off. Does this happen to anyone else?
Tires loose pressure to the tune of about 1 psi for every 10 degree (F) drop in ambient temperature. The cold weather is most likely the cause of the pressure drop in your tires (the MID doesn't know why the tires are low, it's just alerting you to it). Inflate your tires to the correct pressures (if the tires aren't cold when you do this, over inflate the tires and draw them down to the correct pressure after they've been sitting at least 2 hours outside). You should be all set then (and the MID will shut up).

This is a good read http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SN/B071100.PDF
Long story short, keeps your tire PSI's up to the recommended #'s.
