You might need a new tire sensor. It means a sucky trip to the dealer. :U

btw,Do you miss your Hardtop?

A trip to the dealer was how mine got fixed. There are some "how to's" here on the Forum about retraining your sensor(s) that you might try. Good luck!

Retraining the tire sensors takes 5 mins on a slow day. And you will need a 99 cent magnet from Radio Shack.

it is not doing it now could the cold weather have caused it like it caused the low tire pressure reading.
one thing though the dealer changed the wheels on my car when i bought it so could that have something to do with it he upgraded me with polished ones from another car?

Zeus, If the dealer changed your wheels and did not re-program all 4 sensors after they put the new wheels on, there is your problem. Just use the re-learn process that is in your owners manual. I learned that from the best tech on this board....C5TECH :D

In the cold weather the air pressure in the tire will go down, if it hits 24psi, the message will be displayed, after driving for a few miles the tire pressure should go up a few psi, bringing up the air pressure to 25psi or above, and the message will not show. Bottom line, check you tire pressure with an accurate guage, and fill the tires to 30psi when the tires are cold.
