Default HELP ! Tire pressure icon lights up !!!

Well, about two days ago my tire pressure icon went ON.
I'm checked tire pressure = OK, Dash computer shows 33 Psi for each and same spare tire.
Hmmm, i'm getting sick of it

Can be TPMS faulty ? Ir just has to be RESET ??

Thx

Default hmmm

i'm reset and relearn the sensors. They read and sent right pressure value on DIC, but orange pressure warning light still on.

What can be wrong ???

Have someone w/ a scanner see if they can clear the code. Most auto parts stores will do it free.

Have you gotten under the vehicle and checked for any debris blocking the sensor? plastic bag, mud, animal / human body parts, sensor bent out of place?

hmmm, i'm asked dealer already and he said (without scan) that some sensor can be faulty.
I'm just thinking, that is not correct, because i pair them successful and they sending data about tire pressure.

Ok 73shark, ill go to local auto-parts to check for codes.

Also, d u know about some OBD2 scan tool which work on computer ?
I use to have audi and i was able to provide scan over OBD2 - USB cable and Laptop with VAG-com software installed which allowed me to do changes on my car.
