Hey guys i have a base but the tire pressure light (!) came on the other day..its came on once before for about a minute then went away, but now its been on for a couple days..I have a base model so i dont understand..Car is an 07 if that makes any difference..Should I just try resetting the ecu? thanks

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.

 

^i get that but i have a base model..i thought i dont have tpms

 

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