Tire problem?

I apologize for starting a new thread, I did run a search on tire warning light and even tire light with zero results.

My tire pressure light has come on. I went to the folks who do my tires and they gave it the once over, adding air as needed. But the "butt" light won't go off.

Does anyone know what else I can do? I tried the reset button to no avail. I don't feel safe with the toddler. Any helpful tips would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have any other lights on? If so, it may be an ABS sensor issue and not tire pressure. Also, how did you try pressing the button? You can't just press it once at any time and have the light go out. From the owners manual:

1. Before a journey, start the engine, but do not start driving.
2. Press the button until the indicator lamp in the display elements lights up in yellow for several seconds.
3. Drive off.
Initialization is completed during the drive, without any feedback issued.

You may need to try this a few times in case it didn't properly register the reset command the first time. It's taken me 1-2 times to reset it in the past.
