The low-tire pressure icon illuminate on my dash when it got cold outside. I had the tires looked at, and filled to capacity. The icon is still on.
The Consumer Reports website notes that tire pressure will drop 1 psi for every 10 degree drop ... the 70s, and nightly low temperatures in the 20s and 30s − a large enough drop to make the TPMS ...
A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).
Temperature fluctuations as the seasons shift can cause your vehicle's tire pressure to drop, which is important to not ignore.
direct TPM sensor fitted in valve system, manufacturer VDO. In most current designs of direct TPMS, a small electronic assembly which is rugged enough to be mounted inside a tire, measures the pressure using a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) [1] pressure sensor and then transmits this and other information to one or more vehicle receivers.

The oil pressure idiot light lights when engine oil pressure drops below a predetermined level. The light normally appears when the vehicle ignition is turned on, but the engine is not running, as it detects no oil pressure due to the oil pump not operating (the oil pump is powered off the crankshaft, so only operates when the engine is running).
2004: The NHTSA sent Toyota a chart showing that Toyota Camry models with electronic throttle controls had over 400% more "vehicle speed" complaints than those with manual controls. [citation needed] 2005: Incident observed in a Toyota Camry. The cause was initially suggested to be a tin whisker, [27] however this was later proven not to be the ...
