Default tire pressure light issues...

hey guys!!
for some reason whenever i drive on the highway(or for a long period of time) my tire pressure light keeps turning on.. i check my tire pressure everyday and the psi is all the same.. no holes nothing physically wrong with any of my tires... but everytime i shut off the light whenever i drive on the highway again it turns right back on!

any of you guys experience this problem?? how much will it cost to fix?? and will the warranty cover it??

thanks guys

I have my light on 24/7, but i have no sensors...

Is your car still under warranty? It should be free to have it looked at?

I have had mine like that for years now. I haven't found a way to fix it yet, but you'll get used to it after awhile.

what year is your tC? my 06 had the same issue after i had my rims powdercoated. i went ape thinkin that the place jacked my tpms sensors.... come to find out tho, tpms works a bit differently (thru 07 i think) and it actually monitors your tire pressure via the abs or somehting

anyway, here's what you do

05-06 = Monitoring from ABS
07+ = Monitoring from TPMS Sensors

99% Sure

^^ i'll add the last 1%

when you reset the light.. RESET the light and reinitialize the system..
you need to hold the button down until it blinks 3 times.

don't just press it until the light turns off.. that might be your problem

(that is of course assuming you did check your pressures and everything is indeed fine first)
