Low tire pressure.

About 3 days ago I was driving to work. About 5 mins into my drive I heard a loud beep. Turns out my low tire pressure light was on. I drove slow to work go out and checked my tires. All looked fine. I came out at lunch a took a tire pressure tester. Each tire was ok around 29-35 psi. Stopped by a gas station and made each tire about 38 psi. The light remained on for the drive home. Took it out 10 mins later, light still on.

Now here's the weird part, for some reason I hit my VCS button off and on and this cleared the light.

Is this common? Or just weird timing that the warning light went out as I hit this button?

Not sure about the VCS turning off the sensor, but mine usually goes off after about a few minutes of driving after pumping air into the tires. I've also noticed that the sensor will stay on too if you pump too much air into them.

mine went on, found out i had a leak cus of a nail.. put air to 36 i believe, after about 30seconds of actual driving it went off. maybe it was a coincidence that it went off when u pressed the vcs button?

I had that problem when I had my stock 19" u might need to take it in to have the sensors reset or fixed..mine had a crack in it from a rock that got caught between the sensor and bulb.
