"alfred" is a worrier and likes to be the victim of mystery. you insisting on injecting science into this thread ruins his ability to wildly speculate.
some great alfredian contributions to date:
* is the honda fit reliable? [i think that's my favorite!]
* can you get aftermarket hid headlights? [er, think so...]
* xm radio is "fm modulated". [no, it's digital...]
<snip a bunch of questions about cars he doesn't own.>
* unrepeatable anal violation/murder fantasy [anti-theft systems thread].
* synthetic oil, ["mobile 1" no less], might or might not get used in his engine in the future. [stay tuned in for the thrilling updates folk!]
* maybe brakes can be damaged by using them!!!
* you can't run low octane gas at high compression ratio! [except that honda figured out how to do it.]
* tire pressure monitoring systems sometimes work as advertised [pressure drops in low temperatures apparently].
* and so on.
bottom line, he ought to get rid of his accord and go back to the '72 buick. that way he can keep worrying about reliability, design, performance, etc., and bug the g.m. guys instead. i'm sure they'll be a lot more indulgent since they're all in the same emotional hand basket.

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!
