The warning light blinks for 1 minute but stays lit and doesn't reset. I followed the manual but no luck. The tire pressure is equal in all the tires including the full size spare at 30 psi. The closest dealer is 130 miles.

Hello,

Here is how to reset the tire monitors.

(a) Check for DTCs.
(1) Turn the engine switch off.
(2) Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.
SST: 09843-18040
(3) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(4) Read and record any DTCs from the tire pressure warning light on the combination meter. Refer to the illustration for examples of a normal system code and codes 13 and 33.
HINT :
If the tire pressure warning light does not indicate any DTCs or the normal system code, inspect the tire pressure warning light circuit or TC and CG terminal circuit.

Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers,
