Default Low Tire Sensor
I have a 2012 rubi that is 1 1/2 years old. A few days ago the low tire sensor came on. It does not state which tire is low. I went and check the air pressure and insured all had 32 psi in them. But the sensor did not go off. What is the issue?

Definatly try a little higher pressure. I had been running around 32 psi. When colder weather came causing pressure to drop slightly and my light went on. Put in a couple more pounds and the light went off.

Does the sticker on your driver's door post say to have 38 psi in the tires?

Tire size doesn't matter. If the pressure drops below the PSI on the tire info placard you will get a light. With a programmer you can drop the threshold or zero it out.

That sensor never has come on before last winter. I will go put more air in it in the morning to see if that helps

Was the warning light solid or flashing?
Solid means low pressure, flashing means bad sensor.

It flashed low tire then went off and the orange light stayed on. I didn't think the pressure was bad since all 4 tires were around the same psi
