This is not low pressure warning since I checked the tires and they are within .5PSI of the recomended PSI limits.
I took it to dealer and told my SA that it maybe the receiver module in the car, not the 4 wireless module inside the wheels (what the chance of all 4 gone bad right).
Sure enough it was the reciever end not recognizing the sender modules, dealer replaced part, drove my car and it's good now.
Your dealer should be able to test it unless it's intermittent. Mine was always triggered after about 15-20 minute drives in warm day.
Good luck

Just to clarify, it's "TPM Mallfunction" warning on I-drive with the attatched jpg amber warning flashing, the warning icon then stays on (not flashing).
