Faulty TPMS...

Faulty TPMS...
Hey guys,
I have a bit of a problem with my TPMS and I was wondering if you could help shed some light on the problem. The Tire pressure light came on one night while I was driving and I checked the tire pressure and everything checked out to be fine. The light then went away and I thought it just was a fluke. Then the tire pressure light came back on about a day ago, I have been driving around for a day and nothing has changed and the tires are at their normal pressure. What could be happening? Is there anyway i can reset this light?
Thanks,
Dan

I assume when you read the pressure on the display, one of them is below 28psi or showing "--", correct?

Something else to consider... I had the same problem you describe. My dealer reset my TPMS sensors, and that fixed it. So maybe you should try this first before replacing any sensors.

^^ Yes. That would be the only way to check it accurately.
In fact I periodically check my TPMS display against real tire pressures using a quality analog rotary tire pressure gauge. There are some good digital gauges as well, but the good ones are "pricey."
I think the DaveZ#3 is correct (you probably have a "bad" sensor), but thought I should mention recalibration since that was a fix for my problem and spared the cost of buying a new sensor. Even it it turns out being a bad sensor, you still are faced with the cost (albiet it is minor) of doing a recalibration when installing a new sensor.
