UPDATE: drove the car around for about 15 minutes, light was still on but this time it was blinking in different patterns, after it stopped blinked it stayed on once again. Called the dealership told them, they said they would have a tech call me back. Waited 3 hours no phone call yet:( Turned the car on light came on then went off immediately after I started driving and hasn't returned:) So lowering it to 35psi worked, just took a while foe the TPMS to read and reset itself:) thanks for the help I hated this light even if it was only for a few minutes

Just a thought on tire pressure concerns
 
It happens to me too, when on the highway traveling at SPEED for a while. Though I'm not a mathematician/physics guy, I'm guessing tire pressure decreases with speed of the vehicle and, thus, fools the system. Unless the software accounts for it, it's probably a typical event and nothing to worry about!!:tup:

Actually the opposite happens. The standard air pressure for our cars is about 35 pounds per square inch. Under hot weather and highway conditions, the temperature of the air inside the tire rises about 50 degrees. That increases the pressure inside the tire about 1-3 psi, depending on the tire.
