Default Help with the Tire Pressure Warning Light

GX doing great. Got a new set of Michelins Tire pressure was 35 on 3 tires and 42 on one after setting over night. I let air out of the 42 lbs tire and dropped it down to 35 like the other three. Now the tire pressure light is on. I deleted the code but it still comes back. I pressed and held the button on the dash around the right knee area. No change.

After you get a new set of tires installed, what exactly do you do to reset this sensor?

Or...do I have a problem. I have read the manual but it only confuses me.

Check the pressure on the spare tire. There's a tpms on it and if low will keep the light on.

Is the light on solid or is it flashing?

Solid means low pressure. Flashing means the system as a problem, like lost communication with a sensor (usually because it's battery died)

Something I regret not doing was replacing all 5 sensors when I got new tires. Over the next 2-3 years I had to pay (one at a time!) to get the tire demounted, new sensor installed, tire remounted and balanced, when the mounting/demounted would have been covered as part of getting new tires.
