My 68 plate sportage tpm,s are very sensitive, one wheel dropped 1 psi, suspect due to cold weather and threw up the dashboard warning ⚠️ light. Anyone else have the same?

Never had that occur on any car fitted with TPMS. As the weather seasons change I adjust the pressures accordingly but 1 psi seems overly sensitive.

It's not TPMS sensitivity - it's Boyles Law - the tyre pressure will naturally drop 1 psi for each 6 degree C drop in temperature - some places have had a 12 degree change from last week to this.

My VW is the same . The TPMS soon goes off as the tyres warm up. Or do as Clive suggests increase all by 1.
