My tire pressure light is lit up on the dashboard. I was parked when I first noticed the light on. After noticing, I then proceeded to make sure all four tires had correct amount of air and to and to turn off car and back on to reset. After doing so the light has continued to remain on. Also my passenger airbag has been flashing on and off while care is in start mode. I am unsure the cause of it. My vehicle also cut off while stopped at a traffic light a few week ago. Unsure if the problems were related.
