low tire pressure light
here's the thing i run 20's on my car durning the summer, and since it's coming to the end already yesterday i put the stock 16's back on. and when i was going down the freeway (after the stock ones were back on) my low tire pressure light came on. so i pulled over and checked all my tires and they were all good. so i went into the settings on the radio, and im not able to find the tire pressure reset, and the light switch from off to parking lights 3 times didn't work either. so i unhooked my neg battery cable and that shut the light off. does any of you know what could be up with my ss.

My experience was if I ever adjusted the tire pressure for any reason, I had to reset the tire monitor in the car (and I am talking just one lb different and it would throw the light). So switching wheels would probably trip it until you reset it.
As for the radio, I assume this is the stock radio? Were you about to enter the reset menu screens at all? I believe the steps are with the radio off, turn the ignition key to the on position and hold down the DISP button (I think mine takes 30-60 seconds) and then it will enter the reset menus.
I don't remember which buttons navigate it, but you Monte manual should have all that info.

I'm having the same issue. After I switched my winter rims back to the stock 16" rims the tire pressure light came on after a few days of driving. I never tried resetting it from the radio but I did try it with the light switch and it still won't reset or go off even with my tire pressure ok. I'm thinking something is up with the sensor but hopefully someone on here will know what to do.

Based on the two accounts here, I wonder if the cars aren't properly re-calibrating. Sadly, I don't know enough about the tire monitoring system
