HELP! a light just turned on, in the dash
I was wondering what it is? is it harmful? and how to get rid of it

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) warning light. Does it come on solid or does it flash first? Either way, check the inflation of all your tires.

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING RESET SWITCH
• By operating the tire pressure warning reset switch,
the tire pressure warning ECU can be set to issue a
warning at an inflation pressure that corresponds to
the type of tires.
Therefore, the dealer must set the warning threshold
to the proper value in order to comply with the local
regulations.
• Operate the tire pressure warning reset switch only
after the inflation pressures of all tires have been
adjusted on the vehicle.
• To initialize the system, press and hold the tire
pressure warning reset switch for 3 seconds or longer
with the ignition switch in the ON position. After the
initialization process has started, the warning light
blinks 3 times (1 second on, 1 second off).
• During initialization, the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter measures the inflation pressure of the
tires, and registers the signals that are transmitted
into the tire pressure warning ECU at a frequency of
once per minute. The initialization process is
completed when signals from the all tires have been
received.

mine is also on but i do not have a owners manual the dealer told me the previous owner lost it and i have to buy a new one. anyways were exactly would this reset switch be located and wut do the stock wheels generally hold for air pressure? i read the tire and it said somethin about 51 psi or somthin but it didnt seem rite so i figured id ask u guys

[monkeyzz510]

whoa 51 psi? that seems like alot of air pressure
try gettin rid of some until it is into specs which is probaly 32 psi
then the switch is in the glove department
its is a button, can't miss it

That was probably 51 kPa.
