TPS....they work!
Your tires shouldn't be losing pressure! Is it possible the issue is with your
tires and not the TPS? They're just letting you know what's going on with
your tires. Run 35 to 37 PSI in your tires and see how long it takes for the
TPS to come on. Mine doesn't change 1 LB in 90 days with my Michelins.

Think ill pass on the deflate for now. I have been looking at them carefully when I get in and out of the car, paranoid I guess. They were actually looking good and shiny until all the rain today

This is the worst TPMS i have ever seen. It serves no useful purpose. If the light comes on, what does that mean? which tire is flat?

Brought it to the dealer, they did the same thing, and nada. They had to electronically reset them.
Guess I may have some bad sensors.

Amusingly, they tried to tell me the green metal valve caps (came with the car, to denote Nitrogen in the tires - I kinda like them) were causing the problem. After I expressed some mild skepticism, they stopped
