Tyre Pressure Monitor - over sensitive?

Post by bertj »

In the recent hot weather the tyre pressure warning light has come on a couple of times. The pressures were set correctly at 38psi all round (Estate) and had gone up to 41psi when the light came on. Obviously, pressures will increase with use in hot weather and I reckon a 3psi increase is perfectly normal. When the tyres had cooled down (next morning) they were back to 38psi with the warning light still on. I then had to 'tell' the system that the pressures were OK for the light to go out.
Any thoughts please before I try to convince the dealer that there's a problem?
