Default Tire pressure warning

I have searched and searched and just don't think it is working because have not found any results. My tire pressure warning light keeps coming on when I come out of my driveway a certain way, is there a way to clear this without taking to the dealer??

Dumb question,but tire pressure is ok right?Does it go off or is it on all the time?You may need a tire TPMS retrain,any tire shop can do it for you.

When I first start my car, most of the time I notice my TPM light flashing for about 5 to 10 seconds then it goes off. I just figure that is normal. Maybe I am wrong.

Do you have aftermarket rims? You can have your car tuned to get rid of the error light for TPMS.

Mine came on for the first time yesterday. I got out and looked at all the tires and they looked ok. But when I tested the pressure in all of them, one of them was down to 23 psi. I have a slow leak because I just put all of them up to 44 psi(max) just 2 days ago. So, the tire pressure monitor system worked like it should it seems.

ooo..44psi?? Way to high, you're cutting down on your contact patch when you corner with a tire pumped up that high. That and you'll see higher pressure after they've warmed up.

37 max is what I put into mine. Invariably the tire pressure goes up as the tire heats up from being driven on.
