No, but I have an air pressure reading display option available in my Toyota Tacoma. Checking the readings, I found one of my tires was low. Pumped air into the tire and it slowly dropped again. It had a slow leak caused by a nail; I had it patch repaired at the dealer.
I've only had it trigger once, a few years ago. I had checked the tires at about 50°F, and had to drive into the city a few days later when it was near 20°F. That should have only made a few pounds difference, but a few pounds in that case was more than the 10% it takes to set off the alert. So still plenty of air to drive on without risk of tire or wheel damage, but still, an annoying yellow triangle where my digital speed readout should be. I've learned to set the monitored pressure at exactly the 33 lbs cold recommended for normal driving, regardless of the temperature, then adjust the pressure for the difference between the temperature at that time, and the expected low temperature within the next week (until the next scheduled tire check). The TPMS does not care if the tires are over inflated.
Dude... my daily is a 2007 Tacoma and the TPMS indicators are broke dick. I’m always driving around with that damn light on. I will replace all of them when I get new tires. Which...at my rate of driving...will be years from now...dammit.
