Why Does the Tire Pressure Light Come On?

If your tire suffered a puncture and went completely flat, you’d know right away why the tire pressure light now illuminates. There may be other times when the tire pressure drops. So, you wonder why the light powered up. The reasons might not be anything serious, but, regardless, the pressure did drop.
The weather can cause issues with tire pressure. Cold weather may cause a temporary drop that corrects when the tire heats up. Or, maybe not. The lost pressure might require putting air in the tire. And cold weather isn’t the only culprit. Summertime over-inflation can set off the light.
Be aware air escapes from tires. You’ll lose some PSI every month. Keep measuring the PSI to prevent the air from dropping too low. Driving on tires with low pressure comes with safety issues.
