If the tire pressure lights illuminate on the dashboard, it might be signs of trouble. To find out what the issue, see if any of these conditions are present.

The most common cause for the tire pressure lights to turn on is a severe change in temperature. When the outside temps are freezing, the pressure can drop in the tires, but will return to normal as the temperature warms.

A car's engine needs to breathe. In order to function properly, your vehicle needs a steady and large amount of air brought in from the outside and used to help fire the pistons.
