(!) popping up on dash
For the love of...please tell us you dropped the pressure by now...runnin 44 cold (I'm assuming) then driving is a great way to blow those bad boys out. but yes...no alarm...check the sensors. With alarm = issues with low pressure

k so deflated them to around 30 -35 psi and drove to the bank which is about a mile. the light is still on ... ill be driving to work tommorow and hopefully it will go off on the ride there. if not ill assume its the sensor, is there a need to replace it immediately or should i wait til i get new tires n rims in about a month
Thats the MAX pressure not the normal operational pressure. Check your door jam for the proper air pressure (cold). For example my door jam says 30psi for my sedan, but the tires say a MAX of 50psi.
Set your tires to what your door jam says when they are cold. Does the light come on instantly or does it come on after driving a while? Does the light go off after a little driving (if it come on instantly). Do you have stock wheels with the original TPMS or have you changed them out?

IIRC the light comes on when your at 28-25psi or less. If they batteries are dead the light will come on as well.
Also Sidewall Max is Max Cold PSI the tire can take, Yes you can do it but why would you? Horrible traction, horrible ride, faster wearing but a slight increase of MPG! lol
35psi is what I set my tires are at and what I find to be the best on my tires. 30psi is a tad low imo.

Thats just for idiots. That is for OEM tires that came with the car. If he is running different tires or different sizes its all different.

O.P, as I mentioned earlier I dont have TPMS sensors in my tires and haven't for a few years. It's just a warning light to let you know that the tires are low on air or a malfunction with one or more of the sensors.
