Tire pressure warning light is going off but the tires look fine

Ok, all of the tires are showing a little above 30 and the light still remains on. It just lights up as soon as I start the engine and remains lit.

I drove it around for 20 minutes today and it hasn't shut off. I'm guessing it's a broken sensor now...

In my 350Z it won't go back off until about 32 lbs. The nice thing about the 350Z's is that you get an actual readout you can use while filling the tire if you don't have a guage. There is about a minute delay between adding air and it showing up on the readout.

Same thing happened to me today.

I read this thread and my owner's manual before heading to the gas station to fix the problem.

Tires were all at about 27, so I bumped all four up to 35 and drove for about 1 minute at 35 or 40 mph before the warning light disengaged.

I've already ordered one of the tire pressure gauges that "dad" recommended.

Thanks, all!

I've had that pressure gauge that dad mentions for a little over a year. Excellent gauge, extremely accurate. The bleed valve is nice as it lets you over-inflate your tires slightly with the compressor and then use the pressure gauge to obtain a precise pressure.
