Question TPMS shows 3 tire error...for no reason

Riddle me this, people of the internet... I see the TPMS warning light on the dash yesterday and it tells me the tire in question (left rear) is registering 31psi (yellow). The others are at 30, 32, and 32. Not yellow.

This morning, 3 of 4 tires are now yellow at 31, 32, and 31psi. The regular, non-warning tire is at 31. This did not change after driving at highway speeds for 10 minutes, just to be safe.

There are no leaks, so are the TMPS batteries dying? Is that a thing? I can put air in all of them to get each up to 34psi, but I would like to know what's causing this.

Thank you in advance!

Mine alarm at 30, seems kinda low. My car doesn't tell me the pressures but I got a gauge, lowered them to 30 and pressed the TPMS button. I then pumped them back to the normal pressure. Worth a try.

How do you know what tire it is and what the pressure is? My tire light went off last night but I haven’t been able to find out any other info. Thx.

30-32 psi is kind of low, no? Mine is set at 35 up front, and 36 in the back. Try filling up the air and then, check with a tire pressure gauge and compare the TPMS reading with it
