Re: My daughter has a 2006 reg mini cooper and the tyre...
Could be a reset or a bad sensor in one of the tires. Take it to a tire store. Call first because not all of them have the computer to diagnose the problem.

Get the pressure sensors checked. Does it show you which tyre? If so you could swop it with 1 from a tyre which doesn't show a fault and see if the issue moves with it. If it doesn't move, then is coud be a cabling issue, caught white, short or similar.
On an '02 the tire pressure light is under the parking brake lever or on the side of the parking brake cover. You will have to reset your tire light to make it turn off. Press and hold button for five seconds with the key in the on position but engine not started. Then start car and drive for a couple miles by which the light will go out. If the light does not go out you might have a problem with the sensor that sends information to the tire pressure module.
Had the same problem with my 2006 passat, there is a tyre pressure button on the lower central console on the drivers side of the gearstick, make sure your tyres are at the correct pressure first, then with the engine running press in this button and hold it in for about 10 seconds, this will reset the tyre pressure warning to the pressure that is currently in the tyres
This is the tyre pressure indicator. It shows that one of the tyres is losing pressure through a calve leak or puncture, or can also be triggered after you get new tyres or rotate the tyres.
The method to re-set the tyre pressure warning light is as follows:
Turn the ignition to position 2 (ignition on but motor not started). Press and hold the button under the handbrake until the warning light on the dashboard comes on for several seconds. Start the engine. Drive the car normally for several minutes. This will cause the system to re-set to the current tyres and pressures you have. It will then only turn the warning light on if the pressures change - for example if you get a puncture.
