Why does the tire pressure monitoring light come on in cold weather when the tires still have air?

Reasons why the tire pressure monitoring light comes on in cold weather when the tires still have air: The tire pressure monitoring system may have triggered a false alarm; Slow air leakage after a tire puncture may cause the indicator light to come on; Encountering uneven road surfaces while driving can cause uneven tire pressure due to varying forces on the tires. What to do if tire pressure is insufficient: If no visible damage is found on the car's tires, simply inflate them to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If a puncture is detected during inspection, drive to a repair shop promptly for patching, then reinflate the tire. If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim. How tire pressure monitoring works: Pressure sensors installed inside the tires measure the air pressure, and wireless transmitters send this data from inside the tire to a central receiver module.
