Tire pressure warning light
My light came on this morning. I went to the gas station, checked the pressure on all tires. One was a few pounds low but nothing dramatic. The light is still on. I shut off the engine and restarted, still on. That was several hours ago. Drove on the highway, she's straight as an arrow. Tires look fine. Do the sensors go bad? I'm the designated driver tonight, you think it's safe to take her out.

I would say it's safe to take her out.
My sensor still tells me my windshield wiper fluid is low after I filled it up last week.

I just think you need to reset it? Not sure...cuz I don't know how to do it.

to reset, you need push and hold the button until it goes off

You just need to reset the light.

Not sure, think right after start up you hold down the button for 3 mins, then drive for about 10 mins.

Other than resetting the light and keeping an eye on that low tire you should be fine.

That's the new window regulator of the X (always failing), a lot of people have had false alarm. I wouldn't worry about it too much, have fun tonight .

Thanks all - I was actually hoping you'd say leave her home - then I could drink while someone else drives

It may of been the temp change.

I would reset the light.

However the light went off for me and I had a small pressure difference as well and it turned out that the tire had a nail.

I would not ignore the light.
