in the owners manual, there is a way to reset that light. you'll have to try that as well. on my car (2010) the reset button in on the inside lip of the glove box, where your's would be, i do not know for sure.

if this does not shut off the light, then the receiver may be bad?? if there is a fuse for that, check it out as well.

i cannot remember who told me this, but the valve stems act as the "antenna" for the system..if that is true, do you have the factory valve stem caps on, or did you put on metal valve caps..????

if you have metal hub caps on (instead of the plastic factory), is the metal touching the valve stems..??

if none of this helps you, hopefully someone else will be here for you.

You are correct, the valve stem is the antenna. I believe this is the case in all direct monitoring systems.

Occasionally, the signal can't be read and you need to have the TPMS recalibrated.

Most better tire shops have a device like this to do the job:

Check the inside of your drivers door or the owners manual. Usually, you can't go wrong with about 32psi, cold.

Provided your gauge is accurate, I don't see a few pounds tripping the light. I would set them all to 32 any way and see what happens.

Taken from another post on the forum:

On the left hand side, inner wall of the glove box, behind the plastic lip of the actual glove box and the wall, near the front you will find a button. Hold it down for 10-15 seconds and the indicator light will flash. after 4-5 flashes it will go away! All reset
