How the heck do I reset me 2009 Matrix (base model) Tire Pressure Light?!?!

OK I'm BAFFLED here. My light came on a couple days ago, so I refilled the air in all tires (a couple were low). It still comes on when I turn on the car (solid, not flashing).

It's a 2009 Toyota Matrix base model. I read through the many forums on here. My car doesn't HAVE a reset button by the coin holder like many have commented theirs does, and I followed the ignotion on\off like others have stated.

What do I do? Is there really no way to reset the darn light? It's bugging me every time I turn on the car haha.

Any help is appreciated.

It's on solid.

I have filled each of the (4) tires to 35 psi. Do I need to fill the Spare even though it's never been used?

I have never modified\replaced\touched the tires.

check them and see what the PSI is at tomorrow morning, the spare should be set to door spec on the sticker on driver door rear opening, does the spare have the metal valve stem(tpms?)
since it was OK and nothing has been done it must be pressure related. maybe get a better PSI gage?

check all 5 tires tomorrow morning. what does the owner manual say?

Nice, it was the rear passenger, was at 30 psi, I inflated to 35 and the light went off.

Thank you all!

Check your tire for a nail, especially if its the only one that keeps losing air.

Canada

To reset the TPMS system; turn the ignition on, press and hold down the TPMS buttom. The tire light on the dash will begin to flash, after it has flashed 3 times the light will go out. The TPMS system has now been reset.
