TL-Type S Tire pressure problem
Hi guys just wondering if any of you with the tire pressure system on your cars are having problems with it. In the morning when its really cold it gives me a malfuction but after a while the car warms up and the system reports normal. Just wondering if temperature of the tire has anything to do with the pressure system monitoring. Im thinking the cold contracts air causing 28 psi sometime 27 but once the tires warm up it gets to 30-31 psi. Just wanted some thoughts on this.

Does it show a "malfunction", or is it saying the pressure is low? In cold weather, the pressure drops. Tires are always supposed to have the proper pressure in them WHEN COLD. So, you probably need to put some air in...

I agree, if I remember it is like 1psi for every 10 deg F. So when you start driving and the tires get up to temperature, the pressure goes up. Check your tire pressure when the tires are cold ... remember to have an accurate gauge. ;-) I hope it helps and that this is the problem.
I know I have to put extra air in my tires when it gets colder.

My moms company car also does that (06 DTS) but she thinks its ok and seems to be fine. I think when she brought the car in for service though she had them fix it though.
