Press and hold RESET until it says normal, usually 10-15 seconds.

Pressing the reset will just reset it for that ignition cycle. The next time the car is started, the tire pressure warning will display again. Keep pressing the select button, until "tire pressure low" is displayed. Now, hold the reset button until "reset" is displayed. That will take the 10 - 15 seconds. After releasing the reset button, the tire pressure should display "normal".

You may also have some dirt stuck by one of the sensors. I to me, it seems that going through a carwash and having an underbody spray done keeps that under control.

Or a WSS could be bad, or have a bad connection. If the ABS lights, or the traction control lights are on, that might mean a bad wheel speed sensor (WSS). They tell the DIC the tire pressure through comparing the rotation of the tires.
