Default Low tire Pressure light stays on

I have a 2002 Monte Carlo that the Low tire Pressure light stays on, even though the tires are at the correct pressure.

How do figure out which tire is the problem and what do I replace?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jakes Dad,
Some tires shops will check them without cost, and you may want to check with ones in your area...

Sometimes they just need cleaned...
Below is a article on Tire Sensors & I hope it gives you some insight....

Check back later to see what our expert techs post/suggest.
Good Luck

Have you went through the radio and reset the tire pressure sensors?

it says in your owners manual its pretty easy to reset it. But ya you have to reset it to get the light off, also you can change other things with the car through the radio like how long your lights stay on after you get out, and other items. Also how you re-set your oil light.

Turn on the car, turn the radio off

Hold the DISP button (the bottom tuning ****) for 5-10 seconds, then use the seek arrows to scroll through the options. Then using the 1 / 2 buttons to navigate the sub menus and reset the Tire Pressure setting. Also how you do the oil life, etc.

I have found out this happened alot on my 07.....the only thing that really works is to fill it with nitro and so the pressure stays the same unlike air that moves with heat and cold
