That's my concern as well. I believe the best engineering solution is to alter the software that does the monitoring. When the rig starts up and the system does its initial check, if the psi is extremely low then the warning should indeed go off to let the driver know there is a problem. However if the initial under-pressurization is more marginal (due to a cold morning for example) the software shouldn’t immediately trigger a warning until the rig has had some time to drive and to warm the tires.
If people get a lot of TPM warnings they’ll learn to ignore all of them even a serious one. Loosening up the software constraints a bit might solve a lot of problems - especially for the more ordinary driver who doesn’t hang out on Hummer boards
