Tire pressure warning
The latest electrical gremlin involves the tire pressure warning system. First, the "check tire pressure" warning came on a few days ago so I checked the pressures and found they were within 1 psi of each other. Then yesterday, the "tire pressure low" warning came on and in checking, again the pressures were almost evenly matched.
I know this system works by comparing signals from the wheel speed sensors. However, if a wheel speed sensor isn't working properly, wouldn't other things that work off the wheel speed sensors such as the ABS system, traction control and ABS be affected? The traction control light is on as normal and there are no warning sigals for either the ABS or stability control systems.

Mark,
did you reset the warning yet? I think you need to reset it for it to go away. I had this issue pop up a while back (although i had a low tire at the time) and the warning stuck around until i finally cleared it.
If that is not the case, i would bet that the sensors aren't reading properly
