Tire Pressure Monitor

My Tire Pressure monitor light is on. I have checked all the tire pressures and they are all at 32psi. Has anyone else had this problem

Take it to the dealer.. this can happen after rotating your tires, or if a clip came loose, tire pressure anywhere from 28PSI-35PSI should not register any faults.

Going to work this morning and the light went off. It must take a few minutes/miles to reset.

The light with the tire and "!" means that the system is registering a flat tire, if it's the "TPMS" light, it means there is a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system itself.

Might have something to do with the time of day and the heat of your tires. In the morning it's cold and your tires are cold. In the afternoon, you've driven your car home + it's warmer so your tires probably expanded.

Since the light came on in the morning my best guess is that your tire pressure COLD is too low. Might need to inflate them a bit.
