Low tire pressure warning light came on, but...

I checked the tire pressure and it is normal and then some.

I'm assuming it's an ultra-sensitive TPS. But what do I know?!

Can anyone please chime in if they've experienced this?

Thanks in advance...

Did you try resetting it per your owner's manual?

When was the last time you reset the TPMS system?

If I recall, the system looks for a significant change in tire pressure, not the actual pressure itself. So if your tires were overinflated when the TPMS was last reset and then they lost some air over time, you'd get a warning light...
