I am having the same problem. I put tenzo wheels on, with the stock tpms, and the light stayed on!
Then just recently, I ordered 4 new TPMS and installed them on my stock wheels, put them on my car, and the light is STILL on!
I would like to know if anyone knows the answer to this.

The light will come on and flash for awhile when your tire pressure gets to 28psi or less. It's telling you to check your tire pressures basically. Federal Government standards now for fuel economy.

Also if your pressure is borderline when cold the light may come on and as the air heats up when you drive it will expand causing the light to turn off.

is it a set number or is it a set number plus a difference? I.E. you have 38lbs in all 4 tires, then one of them drops to 32, will it turn on?

If 1 or more tires get low on pressure the TPMS light will come on.

I just had the light come on about a week ago and its still on. I checked pressure and all 4 wheels were at like 45psi. Good job filling my tires dealership. I took em all down to about 38. Everything looks good, but tpms light is still on. I had it come on one other time also but went away after a day. Both times the light has come on, I recently had the car jacked up. Anyone else notice this?

Tires should be set at 32psi. TPMS light will come on at 28psi or less and it will come on for too much tire pressure.

Well if that is true then why did it take months for my tpms light to come on when it was at 45? Something else triggered it and it still hasn't gone away. I still think it has something to do with being jacked up.

They are still at 37-38 and they just went off today.

Only reason i was asking is that's the first thing they will do is set the tires at 32psi. Then test drive so the PCM will get the new reading. The light should go off. If not, then they'll put it on the computer to see what each sensor is reading.
