Default PSI Alarm

This morning my PSI indicator started to flash (and the alarm went ff, which freaked me out because it was the first time I've heard it...). I adjusted my tire pressure but the indicator light is still on... I've checked with my dealer to no avail...
Any suggestions.?

Did you indeed find a tire low?

How low?

Did you correct it?

Sometimes sensors can take a few minutes to reset.

If all was well I would suspect a prob with the computer.

The air pressure was not low... It seemed that the gauge was not registering the pressure in the left front tire. I did add - then release some air in hopes it would reset the indicator. No luck...

Also, any suggestions on "cold" air pressure for the Z? Does anyone make adjustments for long-distance vs. city driving?

just fill the tire with the normal setting, 35psi all around, drive for a while +/- 5mins and it should go away.

at least thats what happened to me

Have you taken it out for a drive to try to make the alarm stop?

Well at least it will be doing it when you take it to the dealer!
