When cold (i.e., after being parked overnight, and before driving the car), inflate to 37 psi rear, 38 psi front. Check again when weather gets colder.
I’ve had similar issues during cold weather spells. Had to inflate to around 38 to trigger a reset.
Sometimes you have to overinflate it by a few more PSI than the recommended amount to trigger the sensor.
Please inflate to 36 psi, cold. Every 3 months.

This is far too long an interval during seasonal changes. For example, it’s supposed to get up to 68° where I live today, down to 52°. The forecast for December 1, just a week away, is 46°/20°. The rule of thumb is that tire pressures drop 1 psi for every 10° drop in temperature.
Following this cause I’m in the same boat. It’s been about 2 weeks for me since one tire has been stuck on this after getting it to a normal psi.

Inflate to 36psi. On the plate in your driver’s side door, it specifies the correct tire pressure, on mine it says 35 or 36 I think. This will happen every time the temperature drops significantly, by the way.

Thanks! Yeah, it’s weird the temp only dropped to like 50F here, but I guess that was enough to do it. I thought getting it to 31 would be enough, but I’ll try 36.

That’s not weird at all, especially if you haven’t checked tire pressures since spring. Rule of thumb is that a 10° drop in temperature = 1 psi drop in tire pressure.

Just about every day, this topic is posted. Use the search magnifying glass and type in the keywords, you will find a lot of solutions. Or just read the online owner’s manual on the tire section for the same solutions.

It’s a FAQ during summer to winter season changes, especially for people who don’t check their tire pressures regularly and live in cold climates. 36 PSI when it’s 90° in July will drop to 30 PSI when it’s 30° in November or December.
Mine took 2 or 3 days to reset and I drive about 80 miles a day. Online videos state 10 miles, but mine was way longer.
