Default Question about Tire Pressure Monitor...

About 2 weeks ago, the TPM warning light came on - checked all 4 tires pressure - all fine - reset the monitor - since then it has come on twice - reset - all's fine again - should I take to dealer since I rechecked all pressure this morning again - the car is parked in a garage at home and at work...also, the temps have dropped in Seattle but only by about 10 deg over the last couple weeks...and I have the stock wheels/tires....
Suggestions?

Are you sure you are filling them to the correct pressure? The pressures are listed in the door jam. I think they are 35 front and 37 rear.

Also, post pics of your 997TT. Fellow p-car owner here

Did you check your spare? I believe the TPMS system monitors the spare tire as well.

Also check the following idea and thread:

After having a master warning light come on when I got the car, and now seeing nothing but problems, im wordering if this was a good buy. I hear nothing but kudos about this car and two weeks later im reading buckets of issues....
