what are your tire pressures currently at? It just got cold, so when it does, all the pressure in your tires drops by about 3 or so pounds. Pas that are you sure you don't have a leak?

I'm having this same issue. Had the issue when i bought the car last week, just had 4 new tires put on and they rebuilt the sensors and said the light should shut off in about 10 miles and if not to come back. Well, it didnt go off. Is there a process to "reset" the light or "reset" the process over?

My RA and my Evo both say "TPMS Service Required" when a sensor battery is low/dead and "Low Tire Pressure" when it reads low. It's possible a sensor is reporting incorrectly.
Go to a tire store that has a decent TPMS tool. They can check each sensor and what pressure it's reporting. You can then check the sensor reading against an actual tire gauge and see if there's a difference.

Ah shizzer that makes sense because my says ""TPMS Service Required"" not Low tire pressure. He said they took them apart and "rebuilt them" but i'm still getting the service required message.

I only go to one tire store in town because they never do that nonsense and haven't had a problem since. Get them to pay to fix it, there was nothing to 'rebuild' on your sensor, and if they claim that have them show you them 'rebuilding' a sensor on another car in their bay.
Here is the 'rebuild' process:
- Remove TPMS sensor, it's working but pfft on that!
- Find trash can - throw working sensor in it, extra points if you don't hit the sides
- Install new ****tier TPMS sensor that cost them 2 dollars, and charge you $20
- Let you drive away then your sensors go ape**** within a mile or so
**** all that - they owe you new sensors, and the cost of getting them calibrated. Mitsubishi will charge you about an hour to do that on all four corners, that's on THEM, not YOU. Good luck!
