Default TPMS Problems

My TPMS warning light(yellow) popped up on the driver display. I checked pressure in all 4 corners they are all at 40PSI. I checked for nails did not see any in the tire. I reset tire pressure and warning light went away right away W/O driving. I decided to drive a couple of miles about 10 minutes and light stayed off. What could have caused this, also will the light come back on soon or is that the end of problem. I don't know why I would have to reset the pressure when I did not change wheels, tires or add any air. Anybody have an idea.

Default 40psi seems high to run

but when you say you reset tire pressures - do you mean you did that through the center channel display?

Default my indicator came on after a post-wash hard brake (clean the rotors)

After reset, no problems.

Yes I reset through the center display. Also I did was the car today, but this never happened after many washes. I am scratching my head with this one.

Default Could have just got a stray signal from another car nearby.....

I had mine go off once.... checked tires they seemed to be ok with pressure...then the next day checked when cold and one was 5 psi off.

Found a nail.
