Default Tire Pressure light came on...

But all my tires are at 32 psi. Anybody experience this?

Had my light come on last Sunday. Checked my pressures and they were all close but I went ahead and gave each tire a couple of short bursts of air.

Hasn't come back on yet and my wife drives it daily.

What PSI did you set them at?

Look at the tire sticker inside the drivers door. You should have 36 psi. I started at 32 psi before I discovered the sticker and the light kept coming on about every other day. I pumped them up to 35 psi and it hasn't come back on.

Good Luck!

The SRT6 needs 36 psi. See the owner's manual at page 155. And since pressure goes down as the weather gets colder, it's not surprising that the light went on at this time of year.

We had a slight cool-front (went from 75* at night to 65* at night) here at home a week or so ago. I lost just enough air in one of my tires to kick the light on.

Filled them up and all was well.

I hear that Nitrogen fill will prevent such large increase/decrease due to air temps...but I've never tried it.

You need to watch the changes in the temp. If I remember right ten degrees colder is about one pound of pressure loss in your tires. I had one of mine get to 32 and the light TP light came on. Brought it to 36 and no problems since.

I have the Michelin PS2 tires. Today is the first time my TP light came on. It was 45 degrees outside and my tire pressure was at 28 psi. My '04 Coupe says 33 psi rear and 32 psi front. After adding air to posted pressures no more light. Change in outside temp will affect your tire pressures and the system is very sensitive.
