I live in Florida and we had our first little bit of cold weather, well I went to leave for work two days ago and noticed the TPS sensor light was on. I checked the tire pressure on all four and they are between 36-37psi, however my one wheel keeps saying it's low and displaying the light and the truck image on the dash.

Could be a bad sensor? Anyway to reset it?

Does it say which tire is low or just the tire (!) light?
If it says where it is i would try a rotation, drive around and see if it follows.
Also any decent garage will have a tpms scanner and will be able to see what the computer is seeing.

I had a TPMS light and warning go off on my car when it was 2 years old. Instead of a pressure besides the tire i seen this:

( -- )

The battery died in the tire valve stem and wasn't being picked up. It was fixed under warranty. $70.

It happens. Could be what your getting. They say they're good for 7 to 10 years, but who knows how long they've been sitting around.
