Low Tires Alert

It is starting to get chilly here and I know the Mini often registers a false low tire signal when this happens. However, after I re-set the gauge the first time this happened, the low tire warning came back on, this time showing that all 4 tires were low. And then the indicator showing that my back door was open came on. I re-shut the door and the indicator still came on once or twice, then disappeared. Then the tire warning went from showing all 4 tires being low to just one, but a different one than initially.

Is this an indication that I am having an electrical problem and if so, what should I do?

    I'd say probably not related. Did you check all 4 tire pressures when the tires were warmed up?

    I'd be wondering what the tire pressures are when it's cold.

    I haven't checked all four. When it happened initially I did and it was low and was adjusted. Then the 4-tire sign happened and the rear hatch and that seemed wrong. I will check all 4 in cold weather and when warmed up and see. Thanks - I'll keep you posted.
