    I recently purchased some new tires and while on a long drive, my indicator light came on. After looking in my owner's manual, I read that the cause was the incorrect tire pressure. I checked the pressure on all tires and saw that all four were filled to 42--44 psi. I brought the pressure down on all tires to the recommended pressure as indicated inside the driver's side door--30 psi. The manual said that the light should turn itself off after driving for a few minutes, but this hasn't happened. My light is still on.

    Any thought/recommendations, besides taking it into the dealer?

    Thanks forum!

    There is a reset button on the lower portion of the dash. Your manual should show you how to use that.

    Stupid question but we might be overlooking the obvious:
    Did you get new wheels as well? Did the tire shop transfer your TPMS sensors to the new wheels?

    Other than that, I'd say it might just need to be reset (switch is on the lower dash right in line with your steering column). Google provided this:

    Last thing to check would be if the tire shop damaged one of the sensors while mounting the tires for you.

    I noticed you said all four tires were overfilled. Not sure about the 2014's, but earlier generations also included TPMS in the spare.

    Yep, this. Was going batshit crazy until someone on here suggested to check the spare. And I'm not sure of this, but I "think" the pressure doesn't matter, as long as all (five) tires are the same. I may be wrong.
