Default Tire Pressure Indicator

For the past two weeks whenever I start up my C5 and drive, my gauges indicate low air pressure in my tires. Sometimes only one tire is low and other times all four show low pressure. I know for a fact this is not the case, and outside air temp is not a factor. So I do the reset deal and all is cool until I start up and go agin. This is the first time I have had a little time to research this problem on the forum. Can anyone enlighten me whreras this is a easy fix or a dealer repair. Thanks for any input.

What is your air pressure? The low pressure warning comes on at 26 psi. Mine came on one cool morning. You loose about 1 psi for every 10 degree drop in temperature.

I don't think it has to do with outside temp, been near 750 deg every time I have driven the car. Other replys to my problem seem to indicate low battery on my sensors. Thanks for your input.

750 degrees F?
The tire warning comes on when pressure gets down to 25psi...
