Tire warning light

My tire pressure warning light came on tonight (blinking, not steady). I drove the half mile back to my house and checked the pressure on all corners. Three were 31psi and the other was 32. Why the warning light if the pressure is normal?

Tire light

i had the same thing happen to me yesterday. i checked each tire and the pressure was fine. i just pushed the tire reset button by the parking break and started up. the light remained on until i drove for a while. it went out after a few min of driving. apparently certain things can set it off. you can do a search in the forums. others have had the same problem. just a simple reset is all that is needed.

DS/B, Sunroof, Fog Lights. Finally here! I love this car!

it could have been the resonance of the tyre over the road surface...can sometimes trigger the little fella to start blinking
