have you checked each tire pressure? either one of the tmps sensors is cracked or bad or the receiver part is messed up. your under warranty bring it in.

and they are all at 32 psi because if the tires get to high in pressure then they will go off to if your car doesnt have nitrogen in the tires you get alot of flucation in pressure i work at a dealer and we tell them to get nitrogen in the tires and if keeps happening then we replace the faulty sensor


also do you ever have a problenm with your key fob loosing range

Are you rotating the tires each time it happens?

On a serious note, either your TPMS system in your car needs to get checked then, or every time you take your car in and they check the sensors they really are not putting them all back on the same way and then reprogram your TPMS system. If that's the case, then it's the sensor in the tire.

To the other posts: It doesn't say low pressure. It just says service sensor. It'll say low pressure on the DIC instead if it's a low pressure reading. (Not sure if there's such thing as a high pressure message)
