Did you actually check the tire pressure manually and verify that it's within factory spec?

It's fall. Cooler temperatures mean lower tire pressures. Pressure drops below 28psi and off the alarms go.

Once you drive the car, the tire heats up, pressure rises and warning goes away. That being said, if your pressure is down that low, it's probably too low normally. 35psi is the norm.

It's been a federal law that all cars sold in the US have them since September 1, 2007.

You can thank Ford/Firestone for this one.
