did you reset it? make sure you are not moving and hold down the tire pressure monitor button below the AC controls. See if it goes away.

if it does not, try unhooking the battery and rehooking it up. Or replacing battery entirely--Lots of times battery can be the culprit for stupid problems

I have reset it three or four times. Each time the light goes out immediately after holding the button down and then a few weeks later it is back on again.

I have a 4.4i with same tire sizes, and i'm running 35 front, 37 rear. But i dont think your tire pressure is the culprit here.

Its funny because my friend with a 4.8is has the same problem. Maybe your tires are starting to wear? i'm drawing a blank here. How old is your battery

I think i figured it out. You live in Reno, so its very hot during the day, and cold at night, causing the molecules to expand and contract.

Causing TPM to go off. Honestly, i dont think you really have a problem-- mine goes off when the temperature dramatically changes

You are correct this morning it was 16 degrees and this afternoon it was 46 degrees. That could be it.
