There is no reset button for TPMS, they reset after a few miles on their own once they see the required range of psi in the tire.
It's gotta be a faulty sensor. The pressure was (not too) low so I filled it up to 40psi, and it still hasn't gone off. Guys on fitfreak are putting upwards of 55psi (51 is max) in their tires for hypermiling. I'm already getting about 39mpg on the interstate going 75, so 40psi is my limit.
I hate new cars with all these sensors and gadgets.
I'll stick with my vacuum-hosed, cramped, finicky MR2, thank you. Whose only dashboard light is usually the battery. :/
I'll stick with reliability and being able to put my money where I want to rather than where I need to.
