^^ this ^^

If at any point it is low (> 4psi) and the indicator comes on, you have to overinflate the tire for the indicator to reset off. Stupid but the only way. Just inflating to recommended pressure will keep the light on.

If you are getting readings on your dash, the sensors are working. They last anywhere from 4-6 yrs of continuous use. Generally good to change them when you get new tires, if the tire purchase falls in the 4 yr range and you always leave the tires on. They evidently have a sleep mode if the tire is removed (like swapping snows, etc) or it doesn't move for a period of time. I have a set of sensors on my snow tires that are quite old but still work fine.
