Default Tires

My corvette is telling me I have high tire pressure in one of my tire but I check it all the time and the pressure is fine. What's the problem? Ken

You have one of two issues......

1) defective TPM which is giving you a bad reading (not likely)
or
2) slightly high pressure in one tire which is made worse by hot weather. Mine have shown a high warning if they get above 38 or 40 pounds or whatever.

When you say you've checked it and it's fine, perhaps the gauge you're using to check isn't accurate? Try letting some air out to see if that makes the warning go away.
