“If the tire pressure is decreased by the slightest amount the light will go on and stay on. If the temperature is cool the light will go on and stay on. I've brought it back to service 4 times during november and december of 2016. Their scan shows no fault. I purchased the Prius in february 2016 and didn't have this problem until november. The light may come on while driving or sometimes when the car is first started.”
