Low pressure tire on then off

I was coming home tonight and suddently I realized the low tire pressure light was on. I didn't feel anything different or wrong with the car but I did slow down. After more-less 15', the light misteriously went off. When I got home, I did a visual and a tire-kick test and everything looked Ok. Tomorrow, I'll go check the tire pressure but I was wondering if any of you had experienced anything similar, or if you have any idea of why this would happen in the manner that it did.

Thanks.

Don't be alarmed one of your tires has a low tire pressure. Even when you think your tires are fine until you take a reading you will never know.

Traian,

Mine did that too. Turned out the pressure was a little low. It goes off after a while because your tires warm up and so does the air inside. This raises the pressure above the limit of the sensors so the warning light goes off.

Check your tires when cold, I bet they're a little low.
