This may have been an earlier thread so please excuse me if it has been discussed before.

Tire PM Sensor went off saying 'drive slowly' or something like that but fronts are at 30 and rears are at 34 and all seems good.

the car wont let me RESET either.

time for the dealer?

thanks in advance...

TPMS sensor checks the difference between set pressure and the actual pressure. 30 or 34 does not show anything. Inflate the tires again to correct pressure and reset the TPMS when car is stationary and then drive until TPMS is set. If it doesn't set, visit your dealer.
