Jason,
Do you mean the light that has the Tire outline with the ! ?

If you are seeing that, your TPMS sensor is:
- giving you fits, or
- check your tire pressure

Let us know what you find out.

Actually no, it is the light with the car and the two squiggly lines behind it, that comes on when you drive in a area where one wheel loose grip, and the light soposed to come on for a bit then go off but mine does not "well not all the time", since after I stupidly bent my rims on the passenger side.

False alarm or did you just move/mask the problem? C'mon now, all your hairs are not gone, so rotate them tires back to the way they were and see if that light stays off :D.
