Probably said "Check Wheel Monitoring System" (TPS). Check the tire pressure with a manual guage. Set to 29-30 lbs. You said you cleared code. So, wait and see if it comes back again. If it does, check the pressure shown for each tire on the DIC. Remember, the car has to have been moved at about 10-15 mph for the TPS to "wake up". Your profile shows a '97 so there is a possibility, if those are the original sensors, that the battery(s) are starting to go. Take it one step at a time. Repost if it reoccurs.

Cheers

Just check your tire pressure and drive. Don't worry about it. If it comes up again just repost.

If the tire pressure is low, you should get a message indicating that the pressure is low. If you get a Service Tire Mon system soon, it is most likely caused by your TPS batteries getting weak....
