Tire pressure light not turning off
Hey all. My jeep started displaying the low pressure light 2 days ago. The temp dropped to 63 that morning but it has been colder on more than a few mornings here. I checked with a gauge and every tire was within 2 psi of the recommended 35 pressure ( cold tire pressure, I drove from work which is less than a mile). I aired the few tires that were lower up to 35 (even the spare because I was told to check that too). The light is still on. It was 90 degrees yesterday and it is this morning, light still on. I'm figuring if the pressure is at 35 cold tire it is going to be greater once it's warmer out. After all of that, has anyone had a similar problem and have a solution? Im hoping I won't have to go to the dealer which is 45 minutes away. Thanks ahead of time

Check the spare tire. This was what got me when my TPM light went off. It is a dumb sensor.
Ensure all tires are at the same level, and drive for 5-10 miles. This should fix the problem.

My lights stay on if only put them to 37psi like it says on the door jam. i put them to 38 and they go off. probly the guage being slighty off. try putting your tires to 36 instead of 35.

The light never came on.
On the other hand, I have had it come on for no reason, a few times.
