Default My TPM light is on

Ok this may be something simple that i am over looking but my TPM light came on last night going into work. I stopped and checked tires & they seemed fine. Next gas station I added air to all tires to make sure they were good (35psi) even in the spare. The light will not go out, I even tried the key on press gas pedal 3 times deal but no luck.
Any ideas or advice would be helpful.
Thanks

dont touch the gas pedal, may end up resetting your oil service. I believe the pressure is 37psi for the light to automatically turn off. Take a look at what your driver's door jamb sticker states for tire pressures..

No problem with the oil service as it's about due in about 200 miles. I'll have to check the reccomended pressure & see if that clears it.
Thanks

Mine came on too, filled all tires, noticed the spare was a little low (33) filled them all to 37-38 ? didn't have a good gauge. Light went off about 5 highway miles later, and has not come back on. I'm thinking it was the spare.

it is that time of year that the weather is getting colder and the air in your tire is getting denser and the dender it gets the less psi and the light goes on, just add a few pounds to bring it back up to 35psi

Well got in the Jeep to go home after work & the TPM light was still on. Pulling onto the street at home it blinked several times then when out. Has not come back on. I'm thinking it was as mentioned earlier about the air getting colder & messing with the sensors "brain''. So far no lights so it seems to be good.
Thanks all for the advise & suggestions.

My sensors turn on when the tire reaches 30 psi when filled to 35 psi they turn off. Those sensors go bad at times you can have them rebuilt at Discount tire for about $6.00 a piece. This should solve your problem. They also have the right tools to reset the sensors.
