    You likely have at least one failed TPMS sensor

    The batteries typically last maybe 7-10 years, which you are way past.

    You can keep the tires checked manually (like the good old days) ignore the light, and install all new sensors with your next set of tires.

    Or you can pay for new ones and their installation now if the light bugs you too much and the tires have a lot of life left.

    i usually check the owner's manual next. the TPMS light behaves differently between a low PSI and a dying battery, if a remember correctly.

    If the light flashes for a few seconds then remains on you have 1 or more bad tire sensors.

    The sensors are relatively inexpensive and most tire shops will install and program them for free when you buy tires or for a small fee if you dont buy tires.
