Yep, check the pressure. I've found anything below 31 to 30 PSI in the tires pisses the TPMS off.

I had a valve stem break during a swap of my tires and so I will probably remove the TPMS on my other wheels with my new set of tires. I get the blinking light all the time now.

If the pressure is good and it's still solid you could have a damaged unit. I bet that will be your fix though.

Turn the key on to the run position for 5 seconds then off.

Wait for 15 minutes.

Drive the car at speeds of at least 12 MPH for several minutes. This will register the TPMS code to your ECU.

If this is not done then the flashing TPMS light and beeping will occur.

Flashing light and beeping says that there is a TPMS system malfunction.

Illuminated light means the pressure is too low or high in at least one wheel.

Illuminated constant light means the TPMS' are not in the wheels. Like mine.
