Default TPMS "Check System" possible problem solved

Good evening all, had this symptom a few days ago the same day I put air in my tires. Later that day the warning lights all came on and remained so for 3 days. Got a hunch and checked the tightness of the valve stem caps. Turns out if you put them on too tight it might trigger the warning lights. Long story short the next time I drove all the warnings disappeared. Just want to let others know before you take that trip to the dealer or purchase new parts. That might be the problem. I would gentle hand tighten. Don't use a wrench even though it looks like a hex nut. Hope I helped someone with this discovery. Peace out.
