Default Tire Pressure Indicator acting up?

I was driving a long and I dropped my brothers off and I notice that the TPMS lights up. I'm pretty sure my pressure is fine. So Then I turned the jeep off and then turned it on then it was there. Then I drove for five miles then it went away.

Should this concern me? Is there a problem malfunction? Do my tires want my attention?

Did you also check the air pressure in your spare?

I thought it did

To tell you the truth, I haven't had TPMS valve stems in over 2 months. When I was last in the tire shop I had them replace my TPMS stems with regular rubber stems and I used my ProCal to disable that horrendous system.

If you're sure your pressure is set correct and it keeps bugging you, you could always disable the TPMS system as well
