Make sure tire pressures are what it says in the door they should be then drive it if the light doesnt go off you will have to go to the dealer and have it reset. If the light is flashing before it comes on solid you probably have a bad sensor. Or ignore it and use the tape ideal.

Did you also calibrate the Procal to look for a different psi? (if there is a difference in the range you ran on previous tires?) There are setting for both overall diameter and psi range with the AEV.

I just went through this problem when I lowered the psi on my tires. Got this answer from someone on the forum and it worked. Set the pro cal for what psi u want to run. Put in at least 5 psi in the tires over what you set the pro cal for. Drive like that for a day and then set the psi in the tires were you wanted them. The answer I got was second hand and he remembered something about doing that to reset the tps. It worked for me. Good luck!

I concur with the previous post. Every winter my light kicks on with the first temp drop. In order to get it to go off I have to over fill by about 5 psi. I drive it for a little while and drop it back to the preferred psi at the end of the day when time permits. This far has worked every time.

Check the spare. Mine came on when it got cold. Filled the 4 on the ground but forgot the spare. Once I remembered to fill it the light went off.
