Low air in tire light keeps coming on......

Unfortunately, when I bought my sienna, it didn't come with an owner's manual. I'm suspecting I have to reset the system for the light to go off(since there's a low tire reset to the right of the hood release) but I don't know how to do it. My light keeps coming on when I'm driving on the highway. I've taken it into my local discount tire(where I bought the tires) to have them checked the air pressure in the wheels and it checked just fine. I'm still not sure why it comes on. Thanks in advance.

To reset it simply hold the button in for three seconds. The system works by monitoring the ABS sensors at each wheel. If it suspects that any wheel isn't turning as fast as the others the light will come on. It's not a perfect system to begin with. Mine turns on and off for years now.

I covered my light with a small piece of electrical tape three years ago. I check my tires the old fashion way, I look at them.

That light turned on for the 1st time last night while I was on the highway
got a little worried that perhaps one of my tires had a slow leak or something. The following morning checked all 4 tire pressures with my
digital tire pressure gauge and they were all accurate(38 PSI).

I can go up to 40 PSI, but that would give it a rough ride.
Won't bother with the reset until I buy a new set of 4 tires.
It currently has 3 bridgestone insignias and 1 dunlop, they still
have some thread on them and in decent shape but I want to buy a quality brand before the winter arrives in a few months.
