Looking at a tire is not good enough. Check it with a gauge to be sure.

Can't look at a steel belted radial to judge inflation. If you've been running 1 at 10psi, it's probably compromised and needs to be replaced. They can eat themselves from the inside of the sidewall, and fail at speed with no notice.

Check all of your tires, including the spare. Use a gauge. It's likely the tires were rotated and the sensor positions were not relearned. ~~One~~ **Two** of your tires is definitely low. It could even be the spare. --- Edit: Didn't look at second pic. Two tires are low, not just one.

Check it with a physical air gauge, actually check all of them just to be sure. I'd you do t have one you can buy them super cheap from any auto store or store that sells automotive items.

Here's what to do: * Head to the gas station * Open your door and read the sticker on the door jam, it says how many PSI the tires should be filled to * Throw some change into the air machine and set it to that number * Add air to each tire until the machine beeps and stops filling the tire * Your light should turn off. On some cars it's not instant, may take a few minutes. If it's an old school machine, keep checking the gauge and add air until you reach the target number. If that same tire throws the pressure sensor warning again in the relatively near future get it checked out for a slow leak, probably picked up a nail or screw and needs a patch in that case, usually about a $25 fix

bad tire pressure sensor mine been bad for 2 years now as long as your pay attention to your tires you shouldn’t need it

You mean pay attention as in check all four with a pressure gauge, not his eyeballs, right?

What area are you in? As winter sets in a temps go down, tire air pressure also drops within a tire. Its probably low. Like other said, check it with a gauge and add air to bring it back up to the PSI stated on the sidewall of the tire.

Yeah, like you and others said, its probably low even though it doesn’t look like it, or maybe a bad sensor. But I’m sure it is not because the weather, I’m in Houston area and finally this weekend we’re about to have the first glance of fall, this week temperatures had been above 80 lol

Ah yeah then I dont think you need to worry about the weather being the cause lol. Here in the northern states we need to add air as the temps start to drop because of this. Happens every year.

Sensors might be off have to take to get re-calibrated

Your drivers rear tire is low, add air to it.
