Got new tires put on a few days ago. Took it up on the highway that day and all was fine. A couple days later I accelerate pretty heavily going up and an on ramp and my tire pressure warning light comes on steady. After a few seconds it goes off.

It does this the whole ride home. Then again on the way home. I was watching my tire pressure the entire time and the right front changed from 54-52 psi a couple times.

The batteries in them could be starting to go bad.... I had that problem in my 2010 Challenger. They started randomly going off/on, sometimes more then one at a time. Once I put new sensors in when I got new rims, the problem went away. Think the batteries in the sensors are suppose to be good for 4-6 years if I remember right.

45-55.

This isn't a normal "tire is low" kinda thing. If one tire is low the light will stay on steady and the tire that is low will flash on the dash.

I'm wondering if something happened when the new tires were being put on.
