Exclamation tpms dash indicator..anything else?

driving today the dash light came on. I stopped and checked all my tires, and each was at the exact 35psi (running 35s KM2s) I filled them up to a few weeks ago...

Is there any other reason that light would come on? Dual purpose indicator, etc?

I am guessing that if it was a cold morning it may have tripped one of the tires just enough to set it off.

Always seems like a dumb question, but did you check the pressure in your spare?

Try filling them up to 38 psi for a couple miles, if the light goes off you can air them back down to 35

It happened to me because of a cold front.
Temp dropped like 30 degrees and the light came on. Didn't go off until 3 weeks later when the temp got back above 70 and I put over 500 miles on it.
