If it bugs you that much just flick your light switch on and off 3 times and reset it everytime it comes on.

Are your tires actually low or is it "malfunctioning?"

when the car is lowered it is changing the position of the sensor, the system thinks there is a flat.(or 4)

yep, every time i lower it ( its on air bags ) the sensor goes . its got to be something with the cars hieght. not the tires.

maybe when i get my new pcm from milzy, this might be something they can remove...

any other options guys would be helpfull
