If tires are actually at correct pressure sending units inside tires may need new batteries. Tire shops can deal with this and usually offer to take care of this when you buy tires.
If your tires are correctly inflated, and still the light stays on, do the following:
1. Park in a safe spot with no traffic and switch of the engine
2. Fill the tires to the needed PSI
3. Turn the key to the ON position
4. Press and hold the TPMS reset switch, and stop pressing when the light flashes thrice - now the light won't appear.
If this does not solve the problem, please go to the nearest dealership at the soonest and get your car inspected.
TPMS - TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR WARNING LIGHT NOTE: Tire pressure rises and falls depending on heat caused by vehicle's operation and the outside temperature. If outside temperature is low, the air inside the tire may cool, causing a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate.
When the tire pressure warning light comes on, immediately check the air pressure of all tires and adjust to the specified pressure. Make sure the warning light goes off. If the warning light stays on or flashes, there is a malfunction in the TPM system. See appropriate manufacturer service information.

The yellow exclamation mark appears when your TPMS, AKA tire pressure monitoring system picks up on a low-pressure tire. It means that your tires aren't inflated to the recommended pressure. A simple fix is to inflate to the required PSI, and if the problem does not go away, drive down to the nearest garage, as you may have punctured tire at your hands.
Possibly a faulty sensor on a wheel. These sensors are located in the valve stem and screw in and out..(very easily changed). Good Luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful!
You may have a bad sensor in the tire, on some vehicles the system will reset itself, but sometimes you will need to go to a place that sells tires, they should have a tool to reset the pressure sensors, you can also check your owners manual (if available) to see if there is any type of reset that you may be able to do yourself. Hope this helps.
Take the truck to a tire shop that carries a nitrogen machine ,and let all the air out of tires and get them to fill them with nitrogen. this should take care of that problem.
good afternoon and welcome to fixya.
your problem is relatively easy to fix, stop the car by a tire barn or discount tire and have them reset the tpms sensor that is located under the valve stem, it is not working properly, or it is broke, you may need to have them check them after they reset them, if the light comes back on. there is a computer inside your tire that tells you when a tire is low, if the sensor is bad they normally run between 30-100 dollars depending on where you get it at. that should fix your problem, good luck and let me know
What may have happened is that one of the tire pressure sensors was damaged, or the system was not reset. The tire presure sensors use radio frequency to tell the module the tires presure and location. Replacing tires can sometimes damage them. The sensor is part of the valve stem. Use the driver info buttons to go to the tire pressure / location info. If you see " -- ", then the system cannot read the tires. Tech JK
