Cold temps = denser air = lower air volume. AKA, add air to your tires and the light will go away.

. . . . . . .

It also might be worth seeing what the owner's manual has to say about it. The TPMS lamp is also used to indicate faults in the TPMS system, and I think the lamp behaves differently if that's the case.

If you mean the IUP display, just hit the IUP's 'RESET' button to reset the IUP. The TPMS dash lamp will remain lit, though.

You may also have to either let it sit overnight or drive it a few miles to reset.

Also your tire pressure goes up as the tires get hotter, just FYI. I run mine at 37 or so and they get up to like 42 when I drive.

Turns out I'm at 25 psi all the way around. Filled them up to 32 psi tonight. Haven't checked tpms yet.

The reset buttons, there are four of them, are mounted
on the rims themselves. You reset them by putting air
into the reset button until the pressure reaches the
OEM recommended pressure posted on the drivers
side door jamb.
Or you could just read the Owners Manual.

Thats an old wives tale.
There is not a TPMS sensor in the spare.
