Default Check Tire Pressure light on with no low pressure.

I was driving back from a visit to the parent's house yesterday, and about 10 miles to go, I get my "check tire pres." light. I pull over, check them, 35-36 all the way around. No hissing sound or anything like that. I get back in the car, start it, and the light is off again. Any idea what else may cause the light to come one like this?

My car does this from time to time. Not sure what year your car is, but on my 97 the system doesn't really read the air pressure. It reads the differences in wheel speed. So I notice that the light will go off if I am driving slow and hit a bump/pothole. Or it could be a wheel speed sensor starting to go bad. And sometimes it goes off for no noticable reason.

But when it does, I just reach under the dash and hit the reset button. If I really have a tire going flat, I just figure the light will come back on shortly.

I believe mines on a timer like oil %. So about every few months it comes on. I reset and go omw.

Well, good to hear that I'm not the only one having that problem. It hasn't come back on since, so I suppose it was just a random occurrence. And, yes, mine is a 97, too.

I think you don't hear about this problem as often because it happens more to the 97 guys. The 97 GTPs had a different ABS system than the 98-03s got. And this must be an issue that was corrected with the newer system. But the ABS system in the 97s is the same reason that the 97 GTPs don't have traction control. It was a weak system all around.

I've been just running around with the fuse pulled. I'll put it back in eventually...

Fuse pulled for what? Just hit the reset button and it goes away.

I have a 97 GTP as well.... I was stuck on the same issue...

I disconnected my front two wheel speed sensors, cleaned them up a little, and re-connected them.... lights went off and stayed off.

also - I like that my 97 doesn't have traction control
