Has your TPMS warning ever shut off half-way through winter?

Has your TPMS warning ever shut off half-way through winter?

Mine did a couple weeks ago - can't figure out why. My winter setup is 17" oem's with the sensors intact so I can only assume that the car finally decided to learn those sensors. From everything I know, that shouldn't have happened on it's own. I have not been anywhere near any service shops. Makes me wonder what will happen when I put my original 19's on for the summer.

My trips are always less than 20 miles so I'm not sure if that's related. I know that you have to initially drive a certain distance before the car throws a TPMS error. My winter setup didn't trip the TPMS warning until after I made a long drive. Stayed on ever since until recently. 22k miles so I doubt the dash light burned out but who knows.

Dont know how long you gotta drive before the TPMS will tell you a tire is low. In my experience mine kept going on and off it was annoying as hell. I took it to nissan and they said the cold weather makes the tire pressure fluctuate and that if I filled my tires with nitrogen then the problem should go away.
I did that and havent seen a TPMS light since...... Unless Nissan just took out my sensors...lol but i doubt they'd do that but the light is off and im happy

I don't program my winter wheels to the TPMS system, that's why I'm trying to figure out why the warning turned off. I should add that no electrical work has been done, battery hasn't been disconnected.
