That was your TPS, Tire pressure Monitoring System. Check your tire pressure you'll find one is low. If you changed rims recently, after about 30 miles of driving you'll notice the same light.

u live in Ny... its jus freazing out and ur tire pressure drops. It;ll go away after u drive it around or gets warmer. Or u can jus put some air, 38-42 on stock tires.

Same light came on for me the other day when it was really cold in the morning. I don't have a manual either, but since the psi light was blinking, commom sense told me to put air in the tires. I did and the light hasn't come back...no problems.

Rule of thumb, dont' buy a car (from a dealer) unless they give you a manual.

It is the APS light. It is designed to light up if the tire pressure drops to 29psi or below. There can also be a malfunction too. My light will normally trigger when I take trips that take longer than an hour of drive time. After I stop and shut off the vehicle, it'll clear up.
