TPMS reset - and then drive a while...
I lowered my tire pressures to 55F/60R to get a better ride and oh yes that made a huge difference.
Then we had some cooler weather come in and on the way to work the tire pressure light came on. I looked at the tire pressure screen and they were all a little low but only the right rear was indicating orange. Stopped by Discount Tire and had them pumped up to 58F/63R and drove home. The tire pressure screen indicated the correct tire pressure but still the right rear was orange. When I got home I did the TPMS training procedure in the owners manual, which requires a two minute drive at 20 MPH or better,
15 minutes and 10 miles later, at highway speeds, the light finally went out. Current pressure is 58F/63R cold. Still rides OK.
So if the light doesn't go out, just keep driving.
