You can reset the FTM and the message will go away but I would actually check your tire pressures if you have not done so. The sensor will go off when the pressure drops as little as 5 psi. While the tire is not flat, the system is warning you one tire (or more) is lower than the rest. Could be no issue or there could be a nail or something casuing a slow leak. Check all four tires...

So its a good thing to check/confirm the pressure and reset...rather than just resetting it.
+1
If you have sport wheels 124, are receiving tire pressure warnings, and have pressure loss without finding any visible tire damage, have your wheel inspected at a tire shop. I had 3 cracks in my rear 124 sport wheel, and the other developed a crack as well. Decided to go aftermarket after that - no more cracks lol.

Yes. Please check ALL your pressures before resetting.
