I just got this vehicle. a tie reset green light is going across where the mileage would show and a yellow light that is a "!" mark is on. We checked the tire pressures, and they are all at 40lbs. How do I get these lights off?

Here is how to reset the system:

Vehicles Without Message Center

To reset the system, press and hold the odometer reset button and wait for the "TIRE PRESSURE SET" light to illuminate. Continue to press the button for 3 seconds, then release. After 3 seconds, the low tire pressure warning lamp will flash 3 times, indicating that the low tire warning system reset procedure is complete.

Vehicles With Message Center

To reset the system, press and hold the SETUP button and wait for the message center to display "REST FOR SYSTEM CHECK". Then press the RESET button and wait for the message center to display "HOLD RESET TO RELEARN". Press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds. The message "HOLD RESET TO RELEARN" and the low tire warning lamp will flash 3 times, indicating the reset procedure is complete.

You might have too much pressure

Front tires: 35 PSI
Rear tires: 35 PSI

This is what they what for pressure. Please let us know what happens.
