TPMS warning?
Hopped in the car this AM and was greeted by a beeeep and a yellow warning in the display.
LF - ! - RF
LR - ! - RR

How the heck do all four tires go low at the same time as the weather gets warmer? I thought from high school physics that heat increased pressure.
By the time I drove down the street to the service station for air the light went out. I decided maybe I needed to rotate the air in the tires with some fresh, so I let out a few pounds and topped them off again. Hopefully that takes care of the problem.

let's not freak out - a quick review of
the owners manual would reveal that this can occur if there is radio interference near the car.
Get your tire pressure guage out and confirm air pressure in all the tires is set properly and then have the system "relearn" the current pressures.
"Fresh" air doesn't have anything to do with it.

no freaking out here
and not much radio interference in my garage.
I checked the tires and they were fine. After I removed some air pressure and refilled the tires the warning went out. Go figure.
Rotating the air in the tires was just my apparently very lame attempt at humor.
