I put in new sensors from Tire Rack first, didn't fix it, then put in new OEM AC Delco ones, didn't fix it, changed the BCM, changed the PCM, changed the instrument pack. The only thing that makes the warning turn off, is raising the pressure up around 42-45 PSI, that's the only fix. And I've used the TECH2 tool to set different type tires etc. and nothing else has worked. I now have Load range E tires that can be run up to 80 psi, so 42-45 psi is nothing.
Just hope this helps out the next guy with this issue. What a PITA it was getting that warning to go away. It came back on a couple times within the last year but went off almost immediately while driving. Maybe the cold weather brought the PSI down close to the danger zone. Who knows. The warning has been off for months now.

I installed my current tires & TPMSS in early 2014. This is all I have seen on my instrument cluster after 10+yrs:
Key on(shows all warning lights) & Startup-idling(no warning lights)

What this old dawg has to do with your question is questionable.
