so i was driving the other day, i was going through this neighbor hood it had those speed bumps that our pretty long but not that bumpy when u go over them. after like the 4th one i was driving straight and then i got low tire pressure light came on. so i pulled over thinking i got a nail in it. so i checked all tires were fine. got back in the car and checked on the cluster display of tire pressure and it showed the back passenger tire with 6psi. but after like a min it went back to what it was.
has anyone else had this problem? could the speed bumps cause the tps so at weird?

Two years later...No, but. I felt my ride was a little rough the other day, so I turned my display to tire pressure and saw the driver rear tire had 2 lbs as I was pulling into my driveway. Could barely tell visually when I looked at it. Filled it, wouldn't hold air. Pulled the tire (a real PITA with the puny factory scissor jack- no place for my floor jack without an adapter for the rocker panel plate) and the tire was ruined, not with the chunk of steel in the tread, but the crack and blister from driving on it. And I have had several flats in my 53 years of driving, but none that had so little effect on ride and handling, lol. So I lit up the dash to see why the TPMS hadn't worked. It had, but was hiding behind the steering wheel where I couldn't see it. Wish it had an audible alarm for blind drivers.
