Doesn't have anything to do with Honda and it's not all that weird, it's
plain old physics...when it gets cold, tire pressure goes down. If it's
just barely above the TPMS threshold anyway, when it gets cold it'll
drop below it and the low pressure indicator will come on. Driving for a
while or when it warms up, the pressure will go up above the threshold
and the light goes out. Check the tire pressure when cold & bring it up
to spec.

Hello folks,

I have a relative who also has a 2008 Accord sedan, auto, except hers is a
LX-P with the 16" wheels instead of the 17" on mine. The same thing happened
with her TPMS light going on and off due to cold. It must be a cold issue
for that model. When the outside temp drops to 25F or lower the TPMS will
stay on and remain on even on the highway until the outside temp goes to at
least 30F and after at least a few hours.

Apparently its not a sensor problem or a tire problem its just a Honda fluke
with that model and with a certain degree of coldness...weird!
