TPMS...
A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure in a cars tires and should it drop below a certain safe point, an icon on the dashboard will light up. This is a warning should a tire take a nail and lose air as driving on a flat can destroy a tire, especially the ones with a low profile.Temperature changes will make air expand and contract and 2 cold mornings in South Florida (below 50F) made the warning light come on. A few minutes of driving and the tires warmed up increasing the pressure and the warning light went off.
The pressure is probably at the low reading so I'll top off with more air later today.

mine has two computers grrrrr one for the engine management and another for the dashboard and electrics ,,, and my piece of advice to all car owners is buy yourself a cheap scanner ,,as it will save you a fortune in the long run ,and workshops will not be fooling you with add ons ,,,
I wish I knew this. I always add air when that light comes on.
Once I stopped at the side of the road at 2:00 am to add air.
That was scary.
