Is there a trick to......
.....keeping air pressure the same in all four tires????? Since it got a little colder here in Texas; I've been having the damnedest time with this!
EVERY time I start my car it chastises me.
Is there any way to reset the sensor so that if a tire is off by a pound it will ignore it?

Check the tires while cold (before driving) and get the pressure to 30psi
I would suspect that your pressure is a little low, and when you start up you get the alarm, usually at about 25lbs. Then after you drive awhile and the tires heat up the alarm quits. Correct?
Just get them to 30 there in your garage and you should be okay.

Are you saying that the DIC is warning you that there is a difference in air pressure in the four tires or that the air pressure is low in one or more tires?
I've never experienced any warning if there is a difference in air pressure between any of the tires, the warning is only given if one of the tires is low or high. Since the DIC indicates pressure for the front (left and right) and then the back (left and right) you need to identify which tire is having the problem.
A change in outside air temperature from warm to cold will always affect tire pressure. When the colder weather set in, you will need to bring all the 'cold' tire pressures back up to a standard pressure. I use 30 lbs.
Best of luck,

I've got a little compressor that plugs into a wall outlet ... works great for keeping the tires aired, and you don't have to stop at a service station all the time.
Can't remember the brand off-hand, but I'll check if you're interested.

omg.....I'm a bonehead.
I do have an air compressor and will inflate them before I drive.
Just went out and checked and it said RR tire pressure is low and LR tire pressure is low. FR 29 FL 28 RR 24 RL 25
The pressure does come up after I've driven around awhile so I thought all was okay at first. But since the message is now at every startup, figured I was doing something wrong.
Thank you all for your help!!

Your sensors should only give you a warning if one or more of the tires gets below 25 psi or goes above a certain PSI. It is not all that unusual for any of the tires to have slightly different pressures in them, even if you set them all at the same time. Just the nature of how tires retain the pressure. Mine varies too even though I set them all at 30 psi.

Girl-in-a-box ... sounds like your cold pressure is below the DIC warning threshhold, and it warms to above when you drive it awhile so you quit getting the warning. Just pump'em up, like they've said. BTW, Sears has a $20 digital pressure gauge on sale now for $10 ... and it talks ... in two languages (English and Spanish)!
