Default Tire Pressure Gauge keeps coming on

the tires are all the same pressure all around...32 psi. I've searched around, it's been coming on the past 2 weeks...no pressure has been lost. I've reset it numerious times, but it's really annoying driving down the road and you see it. does anyone have any suggestions...

yeah you should keep them at... i think the door says 29 for the front and 30 in the rear... put it on that and reset it.. you should be fine... has anyone taken the tire off any of the rims? they might have cracked or messed w/ it a bit if that's the case

I'd suggest checking your tires for wear. Verify in the manual you've systematically reset the tire peasure sensor system (Step by step instructions are there).

If it keeps coming on, I would strongly suggest you go to the dealer as this may be either a system fault or an issue with your wheels themselves.

Sometimes one of the valve sensors starts to go bad and sends false positives to the control unit.

^^ what he said. If you just hit the "reset" button, you're only temporarily resetting the light to turn it off. Mine must have been set high, because I kept checking them and they were fine. (brand new) The actual setting procedure resets the expected value to what you have them set at, say 32 instead of 35 or whatever yours is expecting. I forget how to set it, but it's in the book. Something with holding the button...?
