    Like all the time? Mine does it if its real cold but they usually register after a few minutes of driving. I've only noticed it in the cold though. And I've only had it 6 or so weeks...and I live in Mississippi....so it doesn't happen often.

    I will have to check it again but i thought it would show the pressures right away when the truck starts. It's about 40 Degrees here

    Yes, mine normally shows right away. Or by the time I scroll over anyway. It only does it when it gets cold.

    I have round tires though so it might not be the same.

    is the tire pressure display for 2017 or 2018 cars? I have a TPMS but don't recall seeing any pressure display!

    I'd guess it has to do with the low temps we are having right now. I know my pressures are down about 4-5 lbs with the cold. I've never checked mine right on start-up, but every time I've looked at mine, it's had the pressures displayed.

    Same here...
    Isn't it just a light which illuminates when the pressures hit a certain number?

    It did take about a minute to register after I started the truck. So maybe I was wrong and it doesn't come on right away. But it is colder today too. We shall test this again and again until I get an answer.

    You're running 30 psi?? I have 20's and BFG's and I run 48 all around.

    Mine doesn't show a pressure unit I start to roll a little bit. Not just sitting there on first start up.

    The reason is that to conserve battery life on the sensors, the sensors go into sleep mode when they stop moving. So when you start driving, they have to wake up, and connect to the truck before you get a reading.

    Well that makes sense now. It seems to take about a minute after I start the truck. I have been scrolling to that screen first thing since I've been watching it. Doesn't matter if I'm rolling or just sitting.

    Replace the head unit....the Kenwood 9904 will tell you more about the truck than the center cluster does

    for the older models with no psi display,
    if the pressure gets too low there should be a warning light or a message. I haven't read the manual.
    there was another thread about this. tires must get very low (guessing in very low 20's) for the warning.
    it helps when if u are driving and/or not paying attention but if the tires are that low you can tell by looking at it!
    it is a good gadget but the psi display is a better gadget!

    My dummy light in my 17 goes off a lot higher than 20 psi, more like 28 psi, it's actually quite annoying. I've been driving for 25 years and never needed it before, wish I didn't have to have it now.

    28 seems a bit too early considering many run theirs at 30 or even lower if off road!
    I need to do a test with mine.

    My 2016 OM does not give a number...it only says, "As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated." However, I had a low tire warning and could not tell which tire it was without a pressure gauge, until the next morning when it was flat. I also remember that after the tire was fixed, I drove a few feet and the TP warning light reset itself (this is also in the OM). I still check my tires once a month with a gauge...
