So I had a flat a few weeks back, I was going about 80 and the notification came on. I didn't really feel anything so I pulled over. And sure enough there was a small leak. I got it fixed at discount tire for free. After that all was fine. So now on Friday I had it go off on the way home from work, while I was on the highway. I drove about 2 miles before I could find a safe place to pull off. I check all the tires and they seemed fine, then I went to the gas station and checked the pressure and the pressure was normal. Yet the flat tire message still flashes every time I get in my car now. Anyone run into this before? How can I get this to stop showing??

What year is your car? Do you have FTM or TPMS?

TPMS or FTM, it doesn't matter -- confirm that all tires are at the desired pressure then reset it and see if you have any more warnings...
