This popped up on my dash this morning... What's this all about, should I be worried?

Another thing to add to the list when I go to Chrysler
Speakers, dr side wind noise, and this.

Check your tire pressures just to make sure everything is ok.

i pulled out of my garage with my front right reading 23PSI

Got to the end of the block and it reset to 30PSI

TPMS is finicky in any vehicle.

Yes, finicky. I had this happen a couple times on my SRT8, even though all pressures OK. I re-set itself after a restart. Gremlins...

31, 31, 32, 32.

It happened while I was driving. Maybe it will be gone when I get in the car after work?

Nothing is perfect. Probably just have a bad sensor or connection somewhere.

I had this on my grand Cherokee, faked me out, thought I had a nail, by the time I stopped and grumbled, it went up 5 lbs, lol

I was so mad. I stopped my car and was checking the tire, move the car, check the tire, then the third time i went to move it - back to normal.

boy was i heated from thinking about replacing the tire

I picked up a screw in my front Corsa with less than 600 miles on the car. Was pissed. Lol

Your car, tough new to you is still almost three years old. One of the tire sensors may need a battery? Even a brand new 2013 on a lot still has three year old tire sensors....

Low pressure will say low pressure, a bum sensor will say service system.

I just got home with the car. Light was still on. I'll make an appointment for Wednesday and have the dealer check it out.

Thanks guys

FWIW, in my Gen III, the unit that reads the sensors is shot. So, all brand new sensors and all tires filled appropriately, it will always read low tire. The fix requires thing the dash off and replacing the part. Very not cheap. So I just check pressure with a guage here and there. I'm not saying you should let it go, I'm just giving you a heads up for what could be the culprit.

Good advice. Hopefully the problem is covered under warranty.

It will be, if there is anything they can find.
