Low Tire Pressure Sensor

[DebbyM46227]

This morning was the first really cold morning since I got my Yaris in June - it was 37 degrees here. I started out for work and the low tire pressure indicator came on, I drove to the nearest air thing, put my 75 cents in, and couldn't get any of the caps off - I guess whoever installed the factory tires didn't know their own strength.

Finally I got a guy to loosen all the caps for me, but none of the tires are really that low - 31 or 32 lbs. in each of them. Is this something I have to put up with all winter - that light on the dashboard is driving me crazy. (I saw the thread on un-doing the sensor but I'm not into all that.)

If all it takes is 3 lbs. to make it come on, that's a real pain in the butt. I think this sensor is the stupidest thing - cars have been around forever and we got along just fine without these sensors.
