Cold weather and slow leaks are the most common reasons. If the light flashes for about a minute and then stays on, the monitoring system itself has a fault, often a dead sensor battery. The most common causes, on any make: 1. **Cold weather dropped the pressure** (most common) 2. **Slow leak or puncture** (common) 3. **Dead TPMS sensor battery** (common) 4. **Sensors not relearned after tire work** (less common) Full causes, what to do and how to reset it: [Tire pressure (TPMS) light](/warning-lights/tire-pressure). ## Frequently asked questions ### Is there a recall for the Chevrolet Equinox tire pressure light?
