Sounds like the tire sensors or the actual monitoring system. If you do decide to buy it, dont let that hold you back. You can get the dealer to fix it before you purchase it. Juts make sure to have it in writing in your contract.

You just need to replace a couple of sensors or push reset everytime you start it.

Service tire monitor could be a number of things
Does the car have different rims with no monitors in?
EBCM is traction control / ABS related
