My tire presure light just started to come on on Friday night...All tires have 32 psi (measured on a digital guage, in 30 degree temp) in them. I'm assuming I'm having a TPS issue.

you need more air if you inflate a little it should disappear

Your tire pressure is too low. Factory prescribed pressure setting is 44 psi (2010 anyway).

PSI in my 2010 break point seems to be around 37 PSI. I ususally run 38-40 PSI in my tires.

Well, you guys were 100% right. Pressure was just a bit too low. Seems kind of silly to have the warning set so high on a truck like this. Its going to be annoyning this summer when I drop them down to 28-30 psi and don't touch them for 3 months. Summer on Nantucket = on and off the beach daily...

Just my $.02, but if I was gonna run lower pressures all of the time, I would pull the pressure transmitters out of the tires & throw them in the spare tire & air it up to 40 psi......No more codes.
I have never had TPMS in any other car in over 37 years & somehow survived.

I thought they need to rotate or something? Not sure. But I think the system would be a lot better if it was adjustable and it told you which tire had the issue
